Menou and her group press deeper into the City of Ruins to reach the Astrologer who controls the Starhusk, the key to defeating Hakua. Instead, they find a Lost One who should’ve died a thousand years ago. During the confusion, Genom attacks. Will Menou be able to overcome a foe even Master Flare couldn’t put down?
Best book in the series yet, IMO. I am absolutely *loving* how alive the world feels, and interesting, long-planned reveals just keep on coming.
It's *real* nice to have small resolving/seemingly minor details from 'season 1' of the series coming back and getting explanations in 'season 2' for what was happening back then, and gives the series a nice sense of "this feels planned" that's been delightful to experience.
