The crew of the Capricious has had a little of a breather after their previous adventure. They're watching the execution of their hated enemy. Unfortunately, she swears that her mother, who is essentially a magic god, will avenge her death. She's right.
However, first the crew is asked to be secret agents in a very dangerous mission. The mission will take them into the mystery of Origin (humanity's original planet) and magic. The pacing has a good balance between thrilling action scenes and character moments. There's also techno-babble and history lessons
I liked this book better than the previous one because Nilah and her girlfriend Orna work really well together. Boots acknowledges that she's now part of a team after she's been working alone for quite a while. We also get to know more about the two new crewmembers from the previous book.
The crew has really grown on me and they're in a very good form here. I'm sad that this is the last book. I'm hoping that White writes some novellas or short stories about them.
If you enjoyed the previous two books, you will enjoy this one, too.
