It’s been a long time coming, but most certainly worth the wait, and I’m grateful to the publishers and NetGalley for giving me the chance to read and review this before publication.
Having taken a decidedly dark turn in part three it was not a real surprise to see the focus was continuing to explore some of the more unpalatable elements of Morrigan’s experience. She is, naturally, nervous about the implications of being a Wundersmith and how others will respond to her. This made it quite easy to engineer a situation that allowed us to see Morrigan’s continuing development while also placing her in a situation that made it hard to not feel sympathy for her.
As she matures it’s understandable that Morrigan has questions about her origins. In this book she gets answers, though they are not always what she wants.
With a thrilling murder mystery backdrop to the story this is another great addition to the series.
