As an orphan who has never had a family, seeing her transform into someone who cares about Jase’s family was wonderful.
Kazi was a formidable character in the first book but we get to see even more of her strength and survival skills in this one. However, this one turned out to be more contemplative and mostly about how much our characters can endure and what will they do to survive, thanks to which we get to know them way more deeply. Despite being the ending of the duology and beginning with that awful cliffhanger from the previous book, I expected this to be much more action packed than it turned out to be - which wasn’t exactly disappointing but I guess it would have been more exciting to see Kazi to show off her Rahtan skills. There are a lot of conversations and descriptions which I might be more interested in when I reread this book at my leisure, but I just wanted everything to happen quickly and had to quash my urge to skim read. Even though all the previous books have always been a bit slow paced and this book is pretty consistent with them, I guess I was too excited to get to the end and didn’t have the patience for the pace. The way the author describes the journey the characters take across different landscapes and the various hiding places across Tor’s Watch, I could totally imagine them all in my head and feel myself being a part of it all. I have been in awe of Mary’s writing since the beginning of The Kiss of Deception and one of the main reasons is the masterful world building. And I’m so happy to be back in the Remnant universe to finish this amazing duology. It’s been almost an year since I read and adored Dance of Thieves and I have been eagerly waiting to know what’s going happen next in the story of Kazi and Jase.
