It just keeps getting better

Despite being literally dropped into danger, Lindon, Yerin and Mercy are still part of the Skysworn. But could a mission to an island in the Trackless Sea spell their doom?

One of the things that really sells this series is the characters. A lot of care and attention has gone into making each of them unique and memorable in their own way. And by the end of this book most of the main characters going forward have turned up in one way or another. In fact if I have one complaint about this book its that Yerin and Mercy have relatively little to do. Yerin is possibly my favourite character in the series, so it was unfortunate seeing her side-lined.

That aside everything else is what you’d expect from these books at this point. Nice action scenes, an interesting world to explore at a reasonable pace and characters finally coming into their own.

Oh, and this book introduces bloopers at the end, little scenes from the book that have been changed for comedic effect. One of them references his Traveller’s Gate Trilogy but it’s not really important if you don’t get the reference in a throwaway joke.
