Hinterlands 3 is fantastic. As an isolated chapter, it might the best in the whole novel so far. P was a really fun protagonist, and untangling the mysteries of this section was very estimulating. The relationship building with Storm was delightful and complicated, due to power dynamics, in a fascinating way. Other scenes, such as the underground, can be more powerful, but Hinterlands 3 could stand alone and still be a satisfying and complete story.
