I loved finally getting to know a lot more about Anna’s history. The character had a long, interesting life, and deserved a whole book focused on her. I also enjoyed that we saw a little more of Shawna in this book, as by the time this one is set she’s very grown up and planning her own life.

The depiction of Burning Man was unexpected but equally fascinating. The festival was the perfect backdrop for the many stories in the book to weave together, and I also learned something more about the festival itself.
