Oh she's only gone and done it again.

Freya Marske is absolutely one of my favourite authors; the last binding trilogy had me on my knees so I've been waiting for this book with bated breath, and getting the opportunity to read it in advance was a dream come true.

It's almost scary when an author you love so much, who wrote some of your favourite books, branches out to something new. There's always a risk it won't meet up to your expectations, but that's not what happened here at all. Marske has once again created a captivating world, with wonderful, human characters, and told a story so compelling I couldn't put it down. This will absolutely become one of my comfort re-reads, just like TLB is for me.
