I noticed from the contents that this whole volume looks like one big arc instead of smaller stories. This one should be good bc she won't just be able to sense and find it quickly.
I think it's really nicely done that during the first chapters you realize slowly but surely that Clare really feels sympathy for Raki, too. Love that little smile she grants him in the beginning :-)
I like seeing Clare show a little more expressiveness. Her smile is so lovely I caught myself smiling too :) I also like that this is more of an arc, rather than being "episodic"
