Now—now this is getting much better. I felt like this story was less problematic than the other stories with only a few things that still bother me. The plot and characters had more development and I’m actually excited for the next book this time!

I listened to the audio book and somewhere in the middle I nearly abandoned the story. I‘m glad I didn‘t because once I pushed through this one section, I really enjoyed the story. The whole series plays with tropes but always spins them in a new and interesting way. This one focuses on the idea of different perspectives and the power of historians. Depending on who writes history, the good guys can become the villains and vice versa.
I also like the fact that this book allows to form theories about where the story is going and leaves clues for the readers along the way.
I couldn’t stand Tedros as a character in this book and I hope he will get a good arc in the next instalment of the series.
All in all this was a great entertaining read.
