A cat & mouse war book, different than the rest. I want more of Aefe & Caduan! Also why do we have to hear about "children dying" every 10 pages. We get it!

Compared to the first two books in the series, this one was much harder to get through, both physically and emotionally. However, that doesn’t make the stories or journey any less interesting. It is everything I ever wanted from Tisaanah and Max, even if the journey was long and brutal. I feel like this series puts ills of the world, like slavery, war, colonization, etc. and puts it in a context that shows it in multiple aspects. And I love seeing the main characters learning about themselves as they navigate these issues. The world feels so full and alive. I’m kind of sad to leave it.

the editing in this book could be better, but the story and characters are just SO good that i was able to pretty easily look past that!

4.0

I love this book and this series. I think that maybe this book and book 2 could’ve been split into 3-4 books to make it more digestible, but I think using the audiobook is a good alternative if the length is intimidating

I wish she would’ve explained more about the prison & what happened to the other prisoners after it “died”. I love the sense of mystery behind it but were there no other prisoners in there? Did I just miss it when listening to the audiobook? I also would’ve loved to learn more about the school & the guild but I suppose that would’ve made it too long.

 

Overall fantastic. As far as the audiobook goes, sometimes the woman narrator was almost reading too much into the emotion that it could be jarring, and the man was a little breathy, but I still thoroughly enjoyed their interpretations of the characters!
