As for the outright villains, I also thought they were well developed with Stewart giving them enough depth for me to fully understand their psyche. Some things felt like they were added simply for the plot, things that I don’t remember from previous books just added and it felt like it was aided for plot points in this. Stewart’s Bone Shard and Alanga magic system has always been superb and the way it develops in this novel was mind blowing. Through all the upheaval, betrayal, revelations and challenges our characters face these bonds are what grounds them and motivates them to carry on.

Lin's constant assumption that she is the smartest person in the room even though she is almost always outsmarted was endearing at first. For example, it's like Stewart forgot how she showed us Jovis is a great smuggler in the first place. But in this book, initially, it felt like I missed reading an installment or a novella, and I did not think the book needed to utilize this time jump.

As the finale in a multi-POV series, there are many, many POV characters involved at this point in the story. Das Setting der versinkenden Inseln, deren Geheimnis man zusammen mit den Figuren lüftet, und die politischen Verstrickungen, die sich daraus ergeben, waren originell und boten mir etwas Neues im Genre.

She did have both Dione and Ragan to compete with, she had to at least try to prevent them getting an advantage.Can you imagine if every single time a person in the FBI referred to the FBI, they said "Federal Bureau of Investigation"? I’m a bit sad to see the series come to an end, but I can’t wait to see what else Andrea Stewart comes out with next. These characters go on such a journey and watching that unfold in each book was both heartwarming and heartbreaking. If there’s one thing I could add, I wished the characters would spend more time on each island before they move from one island to another so quickly, but that’s more likely my preference speaking because I’m an avid fan of One Piece.
