Another engaging installment to the Green Rider series. As we dig further into this series the books get thicker with slower pacing due to the weaving of the many threads. I appreciated Karigan's struggle with her trauma and keeping busy with a diplomatic mission. (She is a Chosen One whether she knows it or not so of course she has all the surreal experience of being selected for all the missions.) It was great getting some time with Karigan and Estral together and seeing their friendship as well as watching Estral's own journey of growth after being quite sheltered. As usual, Grandmother's machinations caused truly interesting arcs for Estora and for Zachary especially.

I'm officially done with this series. This was just a reworking of the High King's Tomb and I couldn't slog my way through the boring bits. It's a shame, considering how much I really liked the first three books (I have serious issues with parts of Blackveil and Mirror Sight should have never happened). But life is too short to read books that don't interest in me anymore.

This never worked for me. I was expecting something very different.

I put off reading this for a long time after the disappointment that was Mirror Sight. Definitely a much better entry in the series! There was a plot point that wrapped to weirdly quickly at the end, but the pacing in general was good and it was fun to be back with Karigan and co.

A good 2 stars of this rating is solely due to the fact that

, so if you don't enjoy that plotline this might not be such a great book for you.
