Another excellent addition from LP.
TL; DR: Leo Petracci delivers another strong entry to the Places of Power series and sets us up for what can only be an epic climax.
My love for the PoP series is well-known at this point, so I won’t beat around the bush.
Characters: I’ll take a moment to say how much I appreciate LP’s ability to seamlessly introduce new people into the storyline and/or better expand on those who have previously been there. While some of the unfounded emotional responses still reared their head, it was tolerable, though I did feel some of the plot points took a little too long to resolve.
Setting: A variety of them, and they were all implemented wonderfully. Very pleased with jail/facility/walls.
Story: Good, though again, some of it dragged more than it should have.
Writing: Still solid, I feel LP is getting better with every entry and it was nice to have some other pieces come full circle with definitions and characters returning to the fold. He doesn’t forget many details he’s previously established, for which I’m grateful for.
In the end, it’s another strong entry, not as good as the last few, but still a good setup for the grand finale I’m anticipating.

Great read
It was an enjoyable read. It filled in more information about the creation of titans and the motives of the instructors. I can't wait for book 6.

Better overall, though it somewhat feels more like the conclusion of the previous book rather than a standalone installment.
This one brings the obligatory prison break storyline—something practically expected in this genre. While nothing here was particularly original or shocking, it was still an enjoyable ride. The creative ways the characters utilized their powers throughout the escape kept things interesting, and I appreciated the shift in perspective when Petracci chose to highlight the villains and their machinations. Given that we’ve only ever followed the protagonists’ viewpoint until now, it was a refreshing change of pace.
A definite step up and a solid status quo to leave us at before the final book. Here’s hoping it sticks the landing.
