Talonsister

I loved the winnowing Flame trilogy and did Talonsister live up to it?
It did!

Talonsister is a slow book. There is a lot of plots at work here but I loved the mystery. Who is Yins and how did she come to be raised by Griffins? And Leven why can't she remember her past?

I loved all of these characters. Yinis was the storyline I struggled with most more because the other storylines were more interesting than Yins was boring. but Williams knows how to tie things together.

Trust in the author. Things were slow but it all has a point and came together in the best way.

The world was fascinating. Williams took a lot of inspiration from Britan and she doesn't hide it, but with queens and Griffins, a wild seniant forest, druins and Titans it made for a world I loved to explore. Also queernormative:

The characters were what drew me to this story. Keato I loved. His relationship with Belise almost broke my heart.
I did find the romance a little rushed however.

The ending. Everything beforehand was written to the ending and it made the slow book worth it. Questions were answered and characters coming together. I almost cried.

a lot of things were set in place for future books and I cannot wait to read them
