I did not like the shift in tone that happened, and I think that this “reveal” about the Lord Ruler was not planned thoroughly and this whole plotline could have been handled better. I was enjoying every bit of this book until I reached the airship plotline, where I started feeling cold towards this entry. The Bands of Mourning was quite the mix bag for me. Wax and Steris slowly start falling in love with one another. As a character, Wax does not go through too much but by the end of this book he finally accepts Lessie’s death and the way it happened. Marasi is no longer a secondary character, but a third main character along with Wax & Wayne. Wayne finally moves on from Ranette and it is implied that his relationship with MeLaan will be further explored in Wax & Wayne 4 and it was not a one-time thing between the two.
Steris Harms goes from a flat-background character to a likeable side character over the course of this book. In The Bands of Mourning, we see most of the side characters grow noticeably.
