After Changeling, where we ventured into the Meta world through the eyes of a new Meta, it was nice to get back into the head of one of the few Meta's who remember the Meta War. Ethan "Tempest" Swift wasn't even a teenager at the time of the Meta War, but he carries with him some serious emotional damage from that time frame. The death of his mother was a huge one and we learn in this book that there was a huge gut twisting reveal by Ethan's mother on her death bed. It explains a lot about Ethan, whom I had come to really like in the first two books in this series.We learn a lot more about Ethan's motivations and why he is the way he is in this book. He's reluctant to trust even his closest friends with his secret at first, except for Dahlia, who is the only person he's told that he's gay. Kelly Meding handles all of Ethan's issues really well and she does a great job of keeping Ethan from going off the deep end, which would have been easy for him to do. On top of Ethan's story, the overall arc of the series is continued and takes some seriously wild turns that once again I didn't see coming.I cannot wait for Chimera to come out. If I'm right about who the protagonist will be for that book then things are definitely going to get interesting. We will be seeing this world from a different set of eyes and that is definitely an intriguing thought. Kelly Meding has made her way onto my must read list and if she keeps putting out books like this, she'll be there for a long, long time.ARC provided by publisher via Netgalley
