Son of the shaman is a shaman. But what of the daughters?

When Otto Krugg's daughter follows in his footsteps,, he's faced with the task of changing a century long rule that will force her to make decisions no one should have to make.

When Jimmy Pirano gets tasked with enforcing that rule - no matter what - he goes down the rabbit hole to try to find out who established the rule. And why they can't let it go.

If you're looking for the usual Nathan Lowell slice of life and lightness, this isn't it...

4 stars

I'll preface this review by saying that I think, at this point, I've read all by the latest release in the Solar Clipper universe. And follow that by saying this is one of the darkest books I've ever read, written by Nathan Lowell.

It holds nothing back from page one.

And for that reason, I struggled with this one. I'm still not sure how I feel about it, but it's written with the same attention to detail, complex characters, and tight world-building that I love about the rest of them, so I can't fault it.

This book makes the next in the series possible—and I think that one is the best of the trilogy. But if you're looking for a leisurely escape, as I often turn to Nathan Lowell's books for, this one isn't it.
