Less personal than the previous volumes, but another excellent continuation of the Foreigner series.
This volume focuses on Bren's relationship with Jase, with a rather exciting development with Jago as well! There are the usual twists and turns, with this volume diving more into the complex in-universe politics. A few chapters are intentionally written to leave one's head spinning. While these are fun to untangle for oneself, these especially dense sections are summarized afterwards for convenience.
As seems tradition now, the narrative spirals into chaos before concluding in an ever so heart-warming ending.
Very good, but not quite that of previous volumes. Quite a bit of foreshadowing that I am excited to see unfold!
