I read this immediately after finishing Blood & Steel, and that was the perfect timing.  Still being able to stay in that universe but exploring the stories of some of the side characters was excellent.  I highly recommend doing this as well, I think this story is much more impactful than if I had read it separately from the Legends of Thezmarr series.

The audiobook was excellently done, and the voices that the narrators applied to the characters were an exact match for what I was imagining for them.

I don't say this often, in fact, I say it very rarely, but I very much liked the FMC.  I found she made logical choices, her voice was mature and confident without being arrogant.  The main relationship was impactful, and the development and growth were evident.

After reading this book, I would say I am more interested in reading the remainder of the Legends of Thezmarr series than I had been previously.  

Thank you to NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for an advanced listener copy of this audiobook.  All opinions are my own and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
