This was very compelling and I read it straight through, all in one go. This one, more so than the other two, is extremely extremely dark in the middle. So many content warnings!!! But I still enjoyed Phedre's narration and the politics of the world, and especially the traveling portions on either side of the extremely dark bit. I am looking forward to the next trilogy though, in the hopes that it will be less filled with torture.
