This has been my favourite of the series so far! It was much easier and more engaging to read, so much happened it was like reading more than one book, as most of her work is. I really loved how the characters developed through this one, Brianna and Roger especially.

i do think the Claire’s reactions and mental state post all the very horrific things that happen in this book are kinda downplayed or looked past? We hear less from her perspective after which makes sense, and a few references to her flashbacks and ptsd, but otherwise it felt very business as usual. Especially it skipping like a month? Between her kidnapping and then the next chapter.

Even with the time stamps, I struggle to follow the time line of the book a lot and I have no idea how old Jem is supposed to be by the end lol.

I won't lie, after book 5, I was nervous about reading this book. But to my utter surprise and delight, it was nonstop action. I didn't want to stop reading.

As always, I love Claire. She is such a great character, and I love seeing how she attempts to apply her modern medical knowledge to the past. I also liked seeing how Brianna did the same with her engineering skills.

Roger, who I couldn't stand in Fiery Cross, had a great character arc in the book that I appreciated.

Also, that ending?! What?! I did NOT see that coming.

I do think this book could have been a smidgen shorter. I also think the author could take a bit more care when it comes to discussing race, which has been a consistent issue for me.
