This book was really good and a great follow up to broken blade. I felt like the pace sowed down a bit but the character development was given a lot of time to grow. I like that the characters really seem to do things in relationships and planning with purpose and deliberation. While characters make mistakes, the mistakes are understandable when considering the characters. I love how the relationships grow and change through the book. I also love how the personal traumas and problems are a continuing struggle without seeming like they are whining. I can’t wait for the next book to come out!
