I have a certain ambivalence about this book, as I have had for the other books in this series. It‘s extremely well written, and I love the characters. Sometimes, though, the plot seems overly convoluted. This story is also particularly dark, although I think it needed to be in order for us to learn more about some of the characters. And it absolutely canned be read as a stand alone; you have to have read the previous books for background 👇
