2024 book 92

 Sharon Shinn's Echo in Amethyst

Now this was interesting--the main character of this one is an echo who has become sentient (there were some hints in the first book that some echos had some awareness, but I don't think to this extent). It's also interesting because it actually starts before the events of the first book and kind of plays through all those from another perspective. But I didn’t really enjoy the romance—it’s not as well-developed as the ones in the other books. And the political stuff and the end were both somewhat unsatisfying. This one was more romance focused than plot focused, and I think that balance was better in the first two. B.
