I found the early chapters hard to follow and therefore not a great entry back into the story. Once things clarified, I was fully on board. I enjoyed watching Luke's thinking improve throughout the book but I was a little blindsided by the revelation of the Sigils' inadvertent interference with the hosts.
The scope of the world was dramatically expanded, leaving future books wide-open for creative adventures. At the same time, the local politics seems unrealistically simple. Bad guys abound, and they can act openly with few repercussions. The system of sigil slavery is left mostly undefined, so I don't know how upset I should be feeling about it.
And for a last word... I can't remember why Luke is opposed to ranged combat. Was that explained in book one? It seems like a strange obsession, unless it's a show of loyalty to Cookie perhaps?

Personally pretty boring. That Unicorn Death Set was also incredibly dark.
It felt really "fluffy" much like how Luke felt about his group originally. I personally couldn't get immersed into the story and it just felt like it lacked in substance.

Every installment of this series adds more and more complexity to their friend group and the world they exist in. Idk if Taylor makes the right calls and when u think about the magic that was in them and the implications of what it is doing to the others I don’t know how I feel about the whole world they exist in.
