It took me forever to finish this book because I thought it was going to ruin me on a Kingdom of Ash level - but it was surprisingly quick and tame (

which is good because if Dawsyn died instead of Yennes I would have revolted

). Maybe almost too quick, given how much I wanted more reconciliation and details of how the world was "fixed"... But I also understand us not getting that perspective as Dawsyn and Ryon don't stay.

It felt like a lot of repetition of themes/plot points to make the story a little longer which I didn't love - but overall I really enjoyed the story and characters enough that the epilogue made me cry and want more time with them.

I write this with tears freshly streaming down my face, what a perfect ending to a magical series.

The final instalment of the Glacian Trilogy is hands down my favourite of all 3 books in the series. I read this book in one sitting, I couldn't put it down.

The character development we get in this is amazingly thorough. I especially loved the details we learn about the queens! The author is able to seamlessly showcase the complexities of each character and highlight how no one character is inherently good or bad. They are all flawed in certain aspects. There were even times I was empathising with the villains, that's how well we got to know all the characters in this final book.

Valley had me on the edge of my seat for it's entirety! Without giving too much away there is one particular scene that had me reeling! The whiplash! My emotions went from relief to horror so quickly.

The author took us on such an incredible journey, I feel so lucky I got to experience this world and it will be a series I recommend to everyone.

Thankyou so much to Netgalley and Angry Robot Book for an ARC
