I requested this title not knowing it was part of a continuing series. The start of the book left me lost as I feel it didn't accurately catch up the reader on the past two books. Bits and pieces are revealed as the novel progresses, so you really have to read the first two books before jumping into this one. Once I accepted the fact that I wouldn't understand the backstory of many characters, the plot moved along fairly well. The world-building was decent, even though some threads were more on the far-fetched side that requires a suspension of disbelief. 3 stars overall.

I requested this book three years ago and since then my taste in literature has changed very much, so I no longer intend to read and review this. Apologies to the publisher and author, I wish you all the best.
