Ultimately this book was about two things: 1) increased world building and 2) Keera, her personal growth, and learning more about her heritage. Though Keera grew as a character, it was at the expense of a) other characters’ and their growth, and b) the plot. For example, Riven seemed SO two dimensional in this book compared to the prior one. I will read future books to see what happens to Keera, Gerarda, and Gwyn, but this book was unfortunately forgettable.
