I devoured this in less than 12 hours, along with having to do work, a commute, and dinner. I know from the acknowledgements that Travis is afraid we wouldn't want Fern instead of Viv but holy cow, this is a) the perfection combination and follow up to the first two books and b) Fern is f***ing fantastic so why wouldn't we? I love all the new characters: Astryx, Zyll, Bucket are all so great and I love how this one works out. I will say, it's less explicitly cozy than the previous two BUT the cozy feels are there. Fern's stakes are personal even if there's more fighting/derring dos overall. I would read 100 more books in this world with our increasing character list!
