I was delighted to read more of main character, Wren, and her current and back story. On that front, the book didn't disappoint. And it looks like series is gearing up to feature more of PB and the fatae, which could be a plus. The story itself, not really my taste. More mystery and tracking down clues; murky politics and conspiracy theories — even a super secret agency coming into the mix along the lines of a star chamber (not PUPI which was completely absent from this different timeline story arc).

Lousy in the romance department with the heat level of fifth graders angsting the like-like-know-don't-like-you-like crap.

Wren was more fun and more independent in the other series—and did more "retriever" work than tracking down clues and conspiracies.

Well written and a lot of interesting bits to the characters and the worldbuilding. I have no clue if I'll be pursuing series. Not immediately pursuing, I keep my mystery/conspiracy-theory books spaced way apart because not my favorites reading despite the interesting bits I might pursue later.

Ratings scale used in absence of a booklikes suggested rating scale:
★★★★★ = All Time Favorite 
★★★★½ = Extraordinary Book. Really Loved It.
★★★★☆ = Loved It.
★★★½☆ = Really Liked.
★★★☆☆ = Liked.
★★½☆☆ = Liked parts; parts only okay. Would read more by author.
★★☆☆☆ = Average.   Okay. 
★½☆☆☆ = Disliked or meh? but kept me reading in hopes would get better.
★☆☆☆☆ = Loathed It. Possibly DNF and a torturous read.
½☆☆☆☆ = So vile was a DNF or should have been. Cannot imagine anyone liking.  (Might also be just an "uploaded" word spew or collection that should not be dignified by calling itself a "published book." If author is going batshit crazy in the blogosphere over reviews -- I now know why they are getting bad reviews.  Or maybe author should take remedial classes for language written in until basic concepts like using sentences sink in. Is author even old enough to sign a publishing contract or do they need a legal guardian to sign for them?)
