This book was so different from the last two. I have to say I really missed the setting of Akarnae and all the characters that come with it. That being said I surprisingly really enjoyed getting to know the Meyians in the past with Alex. Niyx is now a favourite character and I ended up actually liking Aven for a part of it as well. Also loved Xira the Draekon, and hope we do get to see more of him in the rest of the series. So happy with the way this book ended also. but still think I preferred the second book.
