Long-buried secrets. Menou and her group venture deep into the City of Ruins to reach the Astrologer, who controls the Starhusk. Instead of finding the ultimate weapon to defeat Hakua, they discover a lost one who should’ve died a thousand years ago. And she’s not the only one hiding below. Genom Cthulha has left the Mechanical Society to set himself up in the ancient city. Does Menou stand a chance against an enemy even Master Flare couldn’t beat?
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.
