Can't do it anymore,
I'm just bored with
the new series. I wanted
to like the characters I really
do, but almost all the
characters have the same
personality that I can't
distinguish them from
one another. Plus I've
forgotten too much
to care.

sooo much better than book 2. i found book 2 to be way too repetitive with all the war and battle stuff. there’s a lot less of that in this book and it mostly focuses on the politics. since there are so many characters in different locations, it keeps the conversations varied and interesting. however, i do feel like establishing 8 POVs was a mistake. there are just too many characters and several only get a couple POV chapters. it doesn’t really seem like it was important that ALL of these characters get their own POVs. i do also feel like there might be too much going on?? several romances, mystery assassins, whatever is going on with celestine and the magemarked characters, the entire ending where it’s revealed Han is in Aediion and Ash needs to find a way to travel there and talk to him and learn about the enemies on the council and oh btw since raisa technically died alyssa is queen now?? BUT i’m glad everything is actually starting to come together in this book.

I'm really enjoying this series! This book brought all characters together which was done very well. However, there are a lot of characters and I got confused at times.
I'm very curious where the last book will take the series!

The Empress has landed on the edge of the Seven Realms and various players in each kingdom are angling to bring all together to meet the challenge. These influencers have been met before in earlier volumes and their stories are pieced together chronologically in this one. Re-reading would have helped the enjoyment.
Howevr, the book is much slower paced than the other Seven Realms books. With an unsatisfying quick end.

The first 25% of the book felt forced but after that it was really cool to see how everything and everyone is fitting together. I’m enjoying the series so much and I’m ecstatic about the next book. Lyss, Hal, and Lila are my favorite characters. I’m very curious about Lila’s world.
