I can’t quite tell whether my slight disappointment over this book was due to me having to keep putting it down or because it was genuinely disappointing. It felt like not a lot happened, with a lot of waiting for the characters to decide to do something, and felt quite disjointed. There were so many characters doing different things I didn’t feel connected to any of them (except Elu, I LOVED him). I think the descriptions of Yasira’s debilitating mental health was really interesting, until it seemed to be cured with a sudden realisation that she was needed, and the only way her health effected her any more was by making her feel two dimensional. It’s very rare to see descriptions of plurality in books, and whilst I appreciated the acknowledgment that this was a magical plurality and probably wouldn’t be accepted in the rest of the community, I almost wish it just hadn’t been magical and a new character with DID or OSDD had been introduced, or that the trauma had caused Yasira’s alters to finally reveal themselves. I wanted more individuality from the seven, I literally couldn’t distinguish them besides Luellae. Still I can’t tell whether this was my fault because I kept picking it up and putting it down, so three stars.
