Incredible return to the world of Ember

"Heir is an incredible return to the world of An Ember in the Ashes. The three new POV characters are strongly written, able to individually have compelling storylines without being overshadowed by the beloved returning characters that form a strong secondary tier. I was pleasantly surprised by how much we saw of Helene, Elias and Laia. They are important forces in the story and we get to see how they've grown far beyond a mere cameo. Sirsha and Aiz give us deeper looks into the Jaduna, who were largely mysterious in the original quartet, as well as the Kegari, a new culture for this duology. While I think a new reader could feasibly jump straight into Heir without reading the quartet, I think they'd be better served reading the others first. Heir will spoil readers for some of the most pivotal moments of the quartet, particularly character deaths. This book is not just a cash-grab for fans of the original series; Heir is a thoughtful, compelling continuation of an established world with an enthralling exploration of new elements."
