Yes, Elias whines, but he also puts his money where his mouth is and gets to work. While Helene especially can't figure out if she wants to be a leader or a scared little daddy's girl. Even after multiple times by different people, even those she hate telling her to get her act together. Laia just floored me by laying up Keenan after the death of her so-called friend and Elias taking off without her. And no questions as to why or how Keenan knows what he knows or does what he does. My guy was given me creeps from t he jump and when he switched so quickly from despising her to "loving her," It's like hold up. Sus activity. And yes, stress can cause a lot of misjudging, etc. and I am glad it was mentioned that she is a horrible decision maker and leader. Because it's true. She could decide or figure herself out of a cave. The o ly thing that saved this whole book with me was Elias and Nightbringer. Their character developments saved the story, in my opinion. Even the Commandants character was true to the end.

I really enjoyed the addition of Helene’s POV! I liked seeing more of the inner workings of the empire, and more of the politicking that happens within it. She has a very interesting character arc, and I can’t wait to see where it takes her.
I also think Laia had an interesting arc in this book. She really learned how to harness her strength and bravery, and I’m looking forward to seeing more growth from her over the next two books, especially since her main motivation from the first two books is now complete.
Elias is, as usual, such a constant. I think that it will be interesting to see how his new circumstances change him over the rest of the series.
I’m hoping that in the next few books we get more magic, more politics, and more character development. I think they’re all on the right track, but I want more of everything in the next two books. 4 stars
