Meanwhile, a young child queen, Kosika, takes power in White London and foreshadows much to come in this new trilogy.
In Grey London, things are much as they once were, although Tes, our newest beloved character, gets to meet Ned Tuttle and experience Grey and White London briefly herself as she fights against a coup planned by an organization calling itself the Hand, hoping to murder Red London’s king, Rhy Maresh.
More swashbuckling, elemental and Antari magic, and adventures through and across the varied Londons will leave readers eagerly awaiting the next installment.
Moderate: Emotional abuse, Self harm, Torture, and Violence
Minor: Blood, Kidnapping, and Grief
Self harm CW is not a traditional use of this CW but is somewhat apt. Ditto for grief and kidnapping.some_random_person_hi's review against another edition

All around, felt like fanservice for ADSOM fans but I'm the fan that's getting served so I'm not complaining. Kosika chapters were kinda draggy at times (but also really engaging at other times!) From a pacing standpoint this book has so many problems. I also doubt that it can be understood well/easily/at all by someone who didn't read the ADSOM trilogy beforehand because of the sheer number of characters.

Self harm is to get blood for magic.jackiepreston's review

It feels much slower than the previous trilogy, but I think later books are going to be interesting. I liked that threads were an important theme throughout, including structurally with different story threads coming together towards the end, and I assume it will continue.
The new characters are great and always wonderful to be back with Kell, Lila, Alucard and Rhy.
