4.5

All of the cut scenes and POV switches were annoying (seriously, going from an action-packed scene with one character to a dull by comparison single paragraph of another scene about a different character, then to yet another character’s completely different scene was not fun). But the third Crescent City book wasn’t bad like I’ve heard some people say; it was a pretty good ending for the characters and overall story while leaving room for spinoffs or additional books down the line. And of course I loved the ACOTAR tie ins.

This was pretty much exactly what I thought it was going to be. There were a few surprises and plenty of good bit buried in a lot of detail like the previous two books.

Sarah did tease us with the crossover and I was hoping for so much more content but I understand why she wrote what she wrote.

Best bit had to be all of Lidia’s plot.
