I · The Main Plot
Where We Start
Nauda's soulhome has been wrecked and she is infected by bondsfungi; Theo and Nauda are reunited, Fiyu waits for a relative, and Fithe edges toward war (blurb and reviews).
Major Plot Points & Spoilers
- The first half follows Nauda's struggle to rebuild her soulhome, her infection by bondsfungi and the reunion with Theo. Several reviewers found it slow, with Fithan politics a common complaint.
- Around the midpoint the story moves to Slest, a world of giant arthropods and insectoid Slescans. The protagonists are separated and Nauda is adopted by beetles (reviewers).
- Tythes appears and Krikree is introduced (reviewers).
- Fiyu's uncle, Guchiro, finally appears; reviewers are divided on how satisfying this is.
Where the Book Leaves Off
An ominous epilogue suggests that visitors from outside the Nine Realms attract demons and share some of their qualities (Goodreads review).
