4/5

The fourth book of the series did not disappoint. Continuing with the revelations of the previous book it led back to a familiar city where we learn more about the inner workings of the wizards.

There were so many small details I really enjoyed during this book, all small clues that unfold the mystery of the world and the technology that is hiding in plain sight. It was a very interesting experience trying to figure out what Rowan was seeing from her perspective and match it with what we take for granted. Simple things like satellite dishes or wiring. It was a interesting execution!

One thing that did strike me as a bit odd was how shocked Rowan still was whenever she confronted more magic. It feels like she should have started to somewhat be less frightened and more curious. But to be fair it would be startling if you suddenly saw something you thought was impossible.

I think what really tied things together was a really cool scene where we finally see the unfiltered view of the technology. I think that was a smart thing to add to really drive home the difference in life for the normal people and the technology that is a available to the wizards.

I have a suspicion about what I think the overall story is, and where the story will go next. And I am really hoping that the next books will eventually come out. Until then though, it has been a great series and I loved the world and the characters throughout!
