This book had a very different tone than the first two, and I think that has more to do with Ophelia’s change in character and motivation. The world-building went even further with the main plot unfolding on Babel, rather than the Pole. I loved the twists and turns of this one, and the continued transformation of Ophelia’s and Thorn’s relationship. Though I wish I saw more of it.

Review of entire quartet on last book. I did miss the Pole setting, and starting on Babel took some time to get interesting hence the four stars.
