Rory Power: In an Orchard Grown from Ash (2023, Random House Worlds, Del Rey) 2 stars

now what was the point of all that

2 stars

any theme established in the first book is so very neatly and meticulously deconstructed by this book that i'm confused as to why this was written. neither the world, nor any single character grows or changes, which is weird because they do in the first book, and then all that change is carefully undone in this one.
