Only Ashes Remain

I enjoy the story, but I feel like there wasn't really any character development in this book. I'll be interested to see if this continues or improves in the next book.

I feel like the 1st book in the series would have made a better 2nd, but not to this one's detriment. This book did for me what the first one promised it would. It delivered on the “horror” and scariness of these people and their choices. CAWPILECharactersNita—Compentant. Glad she's trying to be proactive about her ability. Still learning, 1st time really being social, has to figure things out. Too quickly resorts to violence. Starting to see the long game at the end. Really want to see her actually dissect someone. But I'm also a little glad its off screenKovit—enjoys torturing still. Breaks a rule, but doesn't destroy himself. Lots of growth we seen in the form of things done in the past affecting the present. Gets outed as a Zannie at the end. Where do they go from hereAdair—Kelpie macabre sense of humor. Deals in information. Knows a lot more than he's sayingAtmosphereTakes place in a busy city so I can picture it better. The tense feeling of being on the run and the way that Nita feels. WritingGood writing, nothing overtly bad about it.PlotMeanders a lot, isn't bad. But no clear goal aside from killing Fabricio. This was good because it allowed our characters more time for struggle. InvestmentThis book was tough to put down, because Nita was running from everyone and everything the whole time or trying to plan a murder and get away with it. LogicCharacters were consistent and things were logical to everything we know about the world. Nita and Kovits actions make sense for themselves.EnjoymentReally enjoyed this book. Glad to see them growing some and have a plan a crazy plan but a plan. Excited to see where this goes next book.MiscNita's Dad's case is Super Sensitive to INHUP?Who is this familyMom proud of Nita. Saves her from officers even after fight.Going after Tuacahn Law is bold bold
