Another solid book in the series. This one had some issues for me, but overall this is still a world I want to know more about. 

The veil is getting slowly pulled back on the old history - which at times feels ridiculously slow. I understand we’re finding out things as our characters are & it’s not easy finding information that society tried to eradicate 800+ years ago, but boy is it sometimes like HURRY UP I NEED TO KNOW. 

This book felt a little like treading water at times where nothing seemed to really be moving along. Really it was - just not in quite the same manner as book 2. Ashok does get a little grating at times with his “defies the law” issues constantly, we get it. I’m still excited to see where this series leads & ends up though!
