It’s not expressly stated how much time has passed since the previous book, but I reckon it’s been 2 years. There are oblique references to some of the characters that were introduced in book 2, but since I really wanted to get more info on Tenma, I found this frustrating. This frustration is the reason for my reduced Story rating. Along with my concern that the pattern will continue and I won’t get more information on …a secondary storyline from this book.
I checked the other series set in this world, but there were no indications of follow ups on my favorite characters. Not that I don’t like Argent, cause I totally do.
Setting that aside, this book advances the overarching story and enriches the world. It introduces the term Kith kin and further explores the experience of Crossers. We also get more on tree kin.
