vagaybond's review against another edition

adventurous dark

3.0

I had a hard time following it. It felt like the political intrigue and pacing in general ramped up a lot near the end and was very sudden, whereas the beginning was slow. I love this series to bits and this was very well done as usual, but I definitely preferred all the other books in the series more.

I also felt extremely gross at the age gap relationships with the teenage girls getting pregnant by an adult man. If these were shamed in the plot that would be one thing, but they are not. The older man is seen as loved and sympathetic and he is martyred.

Moderate: War

Minor: Abortion

There is a character who is intentionally cruel to animals for "fun" and who manipulates people into believing they enjoy it and it's "just a game"

The protagonist kills her father and makes it look like a suicide. Her father killed her mother. Her father was extremely cruel and controlling of other people's minds.

There are several relationships with noted age gaps between teenage girls and older men, and this is seen as normal and fine. The teenage girls end up pregnant.
