This is my reread of the series in preparation for the release of Goldfinch later this year. I still very much enjoy the growing relationship between Auren and Rip and I love that she finally starts to find her way to herself. Already knowing the major plot points it was fun to remeet Lu, Judd and Osrik and I am still a great fan of the Wrath. Malina is still obnoxious and entitled and I still think she deserved all that happened to her for being such a horrible monarch. However, I still think her plotlines are super important for the overall story and she is definitely not my least favourite monarch (looking at you Midas).

annick's review against another edition

slow-paced

0.75

Ergh. Predicable. Boring. Even skimming this was tedious. Barely any plot. And far far too much inner narrative from the first person narratives of the handful of POV characters. And only if brief scene of spice by queen Malina. Thankfully no traumatic violence from book one.
