Everything I have to say about this book is spoilery. Also, this is a reaction, not a proper review.
MOTHS! WASPS! Hooooooooly shit. And also, I knew Tchaikovsky couldn't resist having bugs in this series. Spiders, spiders everywhere!
Also, of fucking course the Bat people are VAMPIRES. I love it.
If this is set post-Shadows of the Apt, I think I know who the captive Fly woman is and I am rooting for her. Her specifically. I am rooting for the shifters in general.
I have no idea what kinden the Plague People were who are talking to the Serpent People, and I'm confused by why no one reacts to them with the utter horror at their lack of a soul that otherwise happens.
Venat is the best. So is Loud Thunder. So is Ash Maker. And it was marvelous to see Maniye and Shyri rampaging through crocodile land, kicking ass and taking names.
Kidnapping the Seal children is THE WORST. Also, given the parallels with Indian boarding schools, I feel like this entire series is liable to end in horrifying doom, though I'm hoping it won't.
Finally, fuck the Eyrie men not letting women fly. What assholes.

The Magnus Archives got its hooks in me early by having a caving ep (with a bit of cave-diving) as ep 15. It's frequently cited by people as their pick for "First Ep To Seriously Freak Me Out"; it's great.

I have to pass on TMA, alas. Bug infestation of humans is a hard no for me.

One of the Q&As features the director being like TRYPOHOBIA, THAT IS A FUN NEW THING I HAVE DISCOVERED I HAVE, THANKS JONNY.
Otherwise it might be your cup of tea, but yeah, NOPE.
