This one is better, by virtue of being outside the Scholomance, so the descriptions are much better and more interesting. I do hate Novik’s habit of getting to a very exciting part and then spending the next 6 pages with El’s inner realizations and monologue. They’re just very misplaced as is.

Perfect ending. Everything made sense and clicked into place. That feeling when you put down a book like totally satisfied.

3.5? The book is so long, but some parts felt a little rushed — ending felt a little too neatly tied. Also was not fond of the threesome(?) / cheating (but not really?) plotlines, felt a little thrown in there and could’ve worked if the emotional parts were further explored.

ok Novik, i concede you thought this series out pretty well. the plot doesnt feel like it was just shoehorned into the third book, like it was there all along. overall it was fun, and sometimes you need abit of fun. 

though, i would be glad to not listen to Novik write a sex scene again (even a very vaguely described one). its not her strong suit. they were inoffensive but clunky and pretty awkward imho
