Reading this book is like walking on tightrope because everyone is calculating his/her next move. Then Watt’s illegal secret, then Rylin and her luck, and finally Leda with her busy life harboring everyone’s secrets or maybe sleeping with one eye open in fear of the unknown. Follow that is Avery Fuller and her forbidden love struggles.

Then it introduce a new character Calliope Brown, a con artist. This book is also told in the third person point of view, starting with the death of a character from the first book and Mariel’s plan to find justice for that death. It reveals what happened in each chapter so if you have read a few books between book 1, you will be able to catch on pretty quickly. This book continues on from The Thousandth Floor with flourish.

The world building is glamorous just like the cover of this book. It reminds us that our two eyes can’t see everything and that we can only see what’s in front. I like how no matter how closely they keep their secret, that they don’t get away with it, that one way or another, someone will see. The deception are played in many different ways. I like the realistic in how people put on a happy face when inside they feel broken to pieces. This book is a fantastic read! I love that there weren’t any characters purposely doing any drugs this time. My Experience: I started reading The Dazzling Heights on 8/21/17 and finished it on 8/27/17.
