The only thing stopping this from being a 5 star read is that some of the Tessa/Carrick stuff still feels a little shaky, like the dynamic is almost there but not quite. Tessa also still isn't as proactive as I would like. Aside from that though, this is was so much fun to read and once again kept me up at night. I am convinced that something romantic is going on between Harristan and Quint despite having absolutely no proof. Rian pulling a Sturmhond (iykyk) was expected but still delightful to find out. Yes. More please. I must remain fed.
