Loved this, a great end to the series. But it was long and there was a lot happening. I had to keep going back to check things earlier in the book and even earlier in the series a couple of times. Just a warning that it’s a brain engaged kind of book! In the plus side we get so many delightfully fleshed out characters and some really good development for our main gang who I love deeply with all my heart.

I liked this one more than the second one, but this one had more Holland in it so.... 🤷🏼‍♀️

Gotta love tragic bad guy backstory. One part even almost made me cry! 

Kel and Leilah still aren't super believable to me, but the sex scene was hot. 

It was over all really good. First one was the best one, though I wish more of Hollands backstory was in it. But we got it here.

One scene a character talks about self harm and has ideation. The rest is pirates and magic fight. People die, it's gruesome sometimes
