Too many things in this book are coated in a film of artificiality. The intrigue, instead of building naturally, comes across as calculated. I’m still not sure what the plot of this story is aside from screaming mysterious. Kell continues to deliver, and I’m thoroughly enjoying him as a character. Lila... is inconsistent at best and one-dimensional at worst.

Almost DNF. But it’s gotten better. The pace has been more palatable in the last 100 pages than it was for the 100 pages before those. I’m genuinely curious about a few things, and the suspense is less artificial. Enjoying Kell less, still unsure on Lila (leaning towards meh, no) but Rhy’s starting to sound fun. I wish the exposition didn’t assume I’m a dumbass, but you lose some. 🤷🏽♀️

I’m enjoying Kell, & curious about Lila’s bg. Maybe I should be more curious about Kell & his mysterious past... But I want to find out why Lila is fearless vice brave. It’s an key distinction in behaviour & I’m itching to discover what makes a woman in the early 1800s fearless, when the social climate of her time used fear to subjugate women. Also, I hope Barron is more than a cameo. He seems a mentor I’d like.
