This book finally felt like the characters grew. Up until now they always felt a bit static, and with the power escalation, it never really felt like they were improving. This book fixed that in terms of character development and power growth. I can’t say much without spoilers, but I’ll say this applied to perspective and secondary characters, even the antagonists had better motivations than earlier. Up until now, I’d given every book a 4*, but this one earned its 5*.
