I quite liked this book! Dark times are ahead for the Empire. Islands are sinking, the Shardless are rebelling and taking over, and the Alanga artifacts are waking up. The way the Emperor stays in control is through bone shard magic, known only to a few, Lin trying to be one of them (as the Emperor's daughter).
This book is written from a few points of view, mainly Lin and Jovis, with Ramani and Sand and Phalue making up the rest. They end up intertwining at various points, making for an exciting story. I liked Jovis the best because I love his relationship with Mephi though I think Lin is a strong character too and I want to learn more about her past.
This is a good book and I am excited for the continuation of the story!
