Sadly I just don’t think that the story finished strong, and I still think the first book was the best in the trilogy.

I want so much more from this series! While it ended satisfyingly I would like to know if certain characters will get their happiness.

4ish. Probably closer to 3.75

The pace was good. It kept me thinking about it... But it was predictable and I honestly saw some of it coming... Over all good story.

This one was a 3,5 for me. A lot of twists were well thought out but I would have liked more foreshadowing in the previous books. The ending is quite satisfying too. The first 100 pages were quite slow and there were a lot of things that could have been omitted but all in all, this book made me care about the characters so it was a good reading experience in the end. Much better than the previous 2 books.
slow-paced

after watching the first season back in 2018 i immediately bought the book and then completely forgot about it. and when season 2 came in January 2021 out i found my love for this book series again and with the speed of lightning i ordered the second and third book as well! and illness i've read the second and this book in record time!!

i am very pleased with this book and over all this trilogy is the best book series i've read since 2019 when i finished the outlander series.

when i was halfway though this book i quickly understood that the ending would be a happy one and that was a comfort to me because i felt like these characters deserved their happy ending.
