This is one of those rare books where about 50% through I couldn’t wait to be done. This installment didn’t grip my heart or attention as much- but maybe the MC pessimism started to wear on me. Maybe my mood isn’t matching the angsty vibe round 3.

Don’t get me wrong, Novik knows how build masterful worlds (but it feels like in this series, she’s shoving it down your throat). And I love her memorable complex female main characters. I just didn’t swoon over this plot like I did for Spinning Silver and Uprooted.

2.75/5 Rounded Up (because I’m not a Mal) & I still will plan to read whatever Novik publishes next.

I read this book every chance I had! I love the world Novik builds. I also really enjoy not just the way the magic works, but how there are different ways people learn to live in a magical world full of monsters. The first two books are mostly about life within the school, but this one really lets us see how the magical world works within our own mundane world.
