This is a really interesting world, and I like how the magic works – Aelis has some interesting abilities fused in a different way. She’s also a reckless idiot sometimes, and it’s a good thing she has friends looking out for her.
We learn a lot more about the raised dead we met in the cliffhanger of the last book. Fortunately, they get dealt with. But that brings up a whole host of other interesting characters and artifacts lurking out in the forest beyond Lone Pine.
And we get another cliffhanger ending, which also seems like a pretty hard left turn. Interested to see how it plays out.
