 Ana has been exiled from Heart, and her and Sam plan to leave together. However, Janan is going to ascend, and there has been more and more natural disasters lately. If Janan ascends, the caldera is going to erupt, and all of Range will be covered in ash. Not only that, but Deborl is targetting the newsouls, and they're no longer safe in Heart. Ana, Sam, the newsouls, as well as other sympathizers and pregnant women are escaping Heart in the hopes of being safer outside. While they do that, Ana, Sam, Stef, and Whit are going on another route to find a way to stop Janan's ascension - beginning with acquiring the aid of the sylph. 
 I seem to have the habit of reading second or third books in a series after reading previous installments years before. While it hasn't been too long since I read the first two books in this series, I still had to read summaries to feel up to speed, and that may or may not have affected my rating. I thought this book was simply okay - it wasn't bad but it also wasn't great. I did like that most of my questions were answered (besides those brought forth from the ending), and Ana and Sam's romance was definitely a highlight, since I've always liked them together. I'm not too big on the supporting characters besides Cris and Sarit, but since I like Ana and Sam it was okay. 
 One of my biggest issues with the book was the ending. I don't mean the very last part of the book, but what led up to that point. I found it extremely confusing, and I don't really understand what went down, only what came from the actions. (view spoiler)[ I didn't really understand what happened with Ana. She took the dagger from Janan and gained his power - I'm not sure what happened to Janan. She then did something and then died, and everyone who died throughout the book came back? Did everyone die and start over? If not, why did Sam reincarnate? Did he die from his wound? How much time passed between the second last chapter and the last chapter? (hide spoiler)]I feel like things were so rushed in the end for no reason. The pace was steady (albeit slow) leading up to the ending so I don't really understand why all this stuff happened in the last two chapters and wasn't explained very well. 
 Overall, I enjoyed the ending to this series, but I found the ending lackluster and confusing. I wish Meadows spent more time developing the ending of the series, because I wasn't really left with closure, I was left with questions about what happened at the very end. Besides that stuff though, I would recommend this series and this book to anyone who is looking for an interesting fantasy read. This is the first series I've read centred around reincarnation, and it was pretty intriguing to read about how it came to be.
