After a dramatic exit from the last world, Synjan and Daeson come to on a desert planet, with an unintended passenger onboard. While not as dark as the last book, this felt more brutal with ultimatums and shifting loyalties. Damn those conflicts; I have no idea how this interplay will evolve next.
Maybe Bear Grylls has just prepped me for the worst, but I never really felt like these guys were truly suffering as they trekked through the desert. They complain, and the schedule revolves around the sun, but I don’t think this is the Sahara by any stretch. Don’t get me wrong, it’s definitely desert, but Daeson’s healing makes things a lot breezier than it could have been. This planet is pretty forgiving, it’s the people that cause the problems.
There’s a lot of character movement (I’m begrudged to call it growth in this instance; they know what they did) and I am bummed I don’t have the next book ready to go. But I do have first dibs on a library copy, so fingers crossed they won’t make me wait too long.

The action in this book is terrific - you see sides to characters you never expected, and the writing is so skillful you can love and hate characters at the same time.
