This was, once again, an amazing read! Viper and Steel cannot come soon enough for me! Megan O'Russell continues to amaze with her worldbuilding skills. Her character development left me feeling invested in the lives, the trials, and the futures of these people. It is intriguing to watch the separate stories of this group of friends as they each journey on paths that were meant to discover the outside world, but are also leading them to discover more of themselves and the place of their origin. I loved seeing the re-emergence of the Brien in the story. The author always does such an amazing job of interweaving the stories from her different series' together. I just can't wait to see all of the pieces of this puzzle come together.
