Facing the past and moving to the future

I love this series of books. This time round both Apiya and Sarrochs pasts are brought into light. One needs fixing and the other one is a legacy of how they came into being. One trapped and then freed whilst the other becomes trapped and needs to get free.
This is all about strengthening the relationship moving on with Apiya and Sarroch.
Oh, Apiya’s childhood friend in England enters the storyline. Where might that take us as there is some mystery about her.

Spies in a new city

Rory and Longinus were supposed to be spies for Lady Martha, but things have been pretty boring Damsport. Luckily, Lady Martha has received a letter from Azyr stating there is a rebellion and they need Damsport’s help. Rory, Longinus, Adelma, Cruikshank and Rafe head over to help the rebels and save a machinist from Damsport who’s been imprisoned. But once there are there, something feels off and they realize someone has betrayed them. Now they have to save themselves before they can rescue anyone else.
We have seen a lot from the perspectives of Rory and Longinus in the previous books, but this one we get the story from Cruikshank and Adelma as well. It’s 3rd person but it does a great job of introducing readers to those characters. Cruikshank really is like a mother hen to the team, in her own way. She definitely likes to keep order! Adelma is a fun character to read about as well. She comes off as a loose cannon but we learn there is more to her than that in this story.
This book takes place in a new city and once again the world building was great. There were new sights and ways of life that were really brought to life in this book. The beginning was definitely world building but once the action picks up, it doesn’t stop. There is also a theme of emotional growth in this book. Rory has been holding onto some past trauma and it has been affecting her most of her life. As she goes through this situation I. are, she learns that it’s not always best to hold onto the past and I loved that for her character.
