Another really strong story by CL Polk. It’s the first full length novel I’ve read from them, and I really enjoyed it. The world is so rich and fun to explore, but there were moments when I wished we had more background on certain aspects of the world. There’s a concept of “ether” that is extremely important to the end, but we barely get introduced to it until 2/3rds through the story. 

As usual, the characters are a delight. I loved the family dynamic between Grace and Miles, and Miles’ chemistry with Tristan is off the charts. Overall, a great first entry in the series.

Overall a good story. I'm left mildly unsatisfied by the ending and how it all shook out, it feels like it pulled punches to provide a "happy ending", something like how I felt at the end of Eat the Rich, in which the story wasn't necessarily bad but didn't really feel like a, for lack of a better word, "realistic" ending.

I am, however, brainrotten, and can only think about parallels between necromancer/cavalier relationships in The Locked Tomb series and the stormsinger/secondary relationships in this book. Fascinating!
