I really liked this book! I found it a bit slow at the beginning, but after a good 200 pages, it picked up, and all the storylines introduced at the beginning came together at the end.

I spoiled myself *a little* by reading the summary of book 2, so I knew about Calo, Galdo and Bug not making it through the first book, but I hadn't expected them to die so early on! 😅

My big surprise was the identity of the Spider - I hadn't expected 🕷 to be a woman, but what a badass she is! Even Don and Doña Salvara turned out to be very interesting.

The Grey King and Falconer made for a great duo of villains, but I was sad for Vestris.

I'm curious about Sabetha and her story with Locke, and I wonder where Locke and Jean's story will sail to next!
