Easily my favorite title so far in the series. There was a lot of your typical Main Character syndrome in the book but the payoff was worth it! Watching the MC and his Contracted beasts relationship grow and seeing that character getting further developed was significant strokes of good writing especially when he delivered the best line in the series so far for our protagonist. Such great writing and as always Travis delivered on character identity with his voice. I was never lost as to who was speaking when.
