Still, I would say it’s better than Gideon and a mark worse than Harrow - which is to say, it’s very good. I had a harder time following the plot than before, and while Muir makes great strides with diversity in this book, it sometimes comes off a tad awkward (like in the repeated misgendering of a character with they/them pronouns, just for them to correct themselves). But those are pretty small problems compared to the rest of this deeply dark and funny novel. If you liked Gideon and Harrow, I highly recommend it.

The pacing got to me a little bit once again. It feels very much like you're slowly trodding through a day by day story, slooooowly unraveling little bits and hints until suddenly everything implodes. Explodes? Both?
By now I'm getting used to Muir's characters and way of weaving all these intricacies (and that's a happy, familiar "used to," not a bored one). You start the book with, "This is a weird little creature with weird relationship dynamics" and end with an ache in your chest and questions about souls and love.
And I'm so very intrigued and satisfied with the further depth of history we receive in this book.
I have a hard time describing it without spoilers and ruining the ride and/or feeling like I'm incoherently rambling, but this series really is something different. Can't wait for Alecto!
