Reading this makes me wish I had my hair up, lipstick on, and double martini in hand while classy music plays in the background. Received an Advanced Reader Copy from Netgalley in exchange for an open and honest review. Series reviews: Amberlough | Armistice | Amnestyīlog | Youtube | Twitter | Instagram | Spotify | About | I also particularly enjoyed Steven and Cyril's dynamic, and the development of Daoud. Cyril and Ari's dynamic after such a long time challenges each of their character faults and is super compelling. On the character end, Lillian is more interesting than ever here, and I loved seeing her character develop more and more.

I feel the politics of this world are always stronger when Donnelly focuses more on Gedda, as the international world here has never felt entirely clear not even including a map of your international locations is never the right move. The political machinations of this are always fascinating to follow, and the portrayal of a post-war society is consistently clever. It's an excellent final conclusion to this series, but with a fantastic plot of its own. And Aristide, along with his lover Daoud Qassan, attempts to gain legitimacy in whatever government remains. Lillian DePaul tries to seduce establishment politician Frye and former-Catwalk member Saeger, hoping against hope to keep her position in the interim government with her husband Jinadh and their kid, Stephen. In the aftermath of the Ospie removal in Gedda, Cyril DePaul reunites with Amberlough city. I am happy to alert you all that this book was in fact better than Armistice.
