While I had no memory of the previous books, reading this one made it all make sense again and I liked where it went. I liked the characters and the way the book ended. It was well written but I felt like the world/magic system could have been better written?

I did feel a bit lost with some stuff going on, but I did enjoy the story and I'm glad I finished it. - Full review maybe, but probably not.

** I know about the details about the author, but I bought the series before everything happened, and I wanted to finish the series. I am not acknowledgable about everything, so I would research on your own.**

Well, nothing like downloading a book from the library on your to read list and then learning after that the author has a history of bullying (BIPOC authors, book bloggers) and anti-semitism in their books… I suppose this is a lesson that I should skim the reviews before downloading. I am not familiar enough with Jewish history to have recognized the anti-semitic content on my own, but other reviewers have explicitly outlined it.

I no longer support this author. I had this book preordered before their racism came to light and only read it because I had already read the previous books. I just want to tracking my pages read.

Damn, what a conclusion. I braced myself for this because I had a feeling that it would be a brutal read. And I wasn't wrong. My heart was in my throat for most of the book and I was absolutely dying to know what would happen. Mainly to Serefin because he's my favorite. I think the most unexpected thing about this book is the way it ended. I didn't expect it to go that way. I also hope that Emily revisits this world someday because I can tell there are so many more stories to be told in it.
