This series continues to be emotionally devastating and trauma inducing. The story took off in ways I was not expecting and the twists and turns continue to shock me. Chakraborty's writing is truly magical.
The strength of this series continues to be the character work. We have a slew of characters between the first two books and Chakraborty runs your through a gambit of emotions as there are no "good guys" vs "bad guys" in this story. One moment you're rooting for one of the characters only for them to emotionally scar you the next with bigoted remarks or sheer inhumane acts. This series really grasps how complex and morally grey society can seem at times.
