I was fully expecting this to start out like The Bone Season, which was heavy with backstory and world-building. Nope. This one launches you straight in and gods help you if you can’t catch up. Paige is back in the mime-lord realm and struggling against the new world order and her trauma in Sheol I. Twists and turns abound, and we get a healthy dose of Jaxson and his shifty self. This is an edge of the seat read with will she or won’t she in just about every chapter. I am thoroughly sunk in this world! Onto the next!
