Greta has become and AI, but
she has a long way to travel, both physically and emotionally before she will
be in a safe place. Along the journey,
she and Talis are betrayed by their Swan Rider companions, and Talis is injured
in a way that he cannot upload back into
his AI body – he is stuck as a lowly human, scrambling across the
territory to the Swan Rider refuge. Even
there, however, there is danger. The
Swan Riders are playing a desperate game that has been long in the planning and
both Greta and Talis are part of the solution – if Talis can actually listen
instead of reacting.
Bow has taken a sharp turn
with this second book. It took me a
while to settle in, confused by the direction, but I was oh so glad that I
persisted, because the last quarter of the book was highly satisfying.
