Another installment, another planet in Sapling's Depths, this time with mysterious deaths and intrigue! We also get new side characters here, what with being on a new world, including someone from Mila's past. This gives more insight into her character than we've had before and helps to round her out, which is great. Addison also gets some growth here, becoming a bit more worldly, and both young women start to realize the depth of their feelings for each other as well.

Sapling's Depths does end on more of a cliffhanger than the first two, which I thought was a bit unnecessary, and I don't think I enjoyed this part of the story quite as much as the other two, although I'd put it ahead of both in the quality of the writing itself. Still a great YA sci-fi, and worth the read if you've already read the first two (if you haven't go read them first, then come back to this).

I received a free ARC from the author, but my review is unbiased and left voluntarily.
