I read a lot of reviews after reading this, currently I'm reading kings cage and it's safe to say. That Glass Sword is the "worst" book in the series, so far at least. I haven't read war storm yet. But RQ was so amazing it pulled me in and then GS continued and I did like the plot and loved meeting all the new characters but besides that it wasn't that good. I don't have the strongest opinion like some of the people in these reviews do but, for people who are team maven this is the worst book. Kings Cage is exactly what you need if you love Maven.

Another fantastic book that I raced through. Didn't like it quite as much as the first because it was so dominated by war. But an excellent plot and fantastic moral quandaries.

4 ⭐️ - This was MUCH more intense than the first two books (RQ and CC). I genuinely got choked up a few times reading the second half - so many moments of absolute heartbreak. Warfare, death/loss, politics, murder, torture, infanticide/violence towards children. It was a very emotionally heavy read.
My only complaints are minor.
One - there was almost zero “relaxation” in this book - the entire book had me on edge, and I would have greatly appreciated a few moments of tenderness or “filler” plot, just so I could catch my breath.
Two - the last chapter had a few typos and strange word choices that sounded made up (after a quick Google search, they ARE actual words, but they seemed goofy or in poor choice). It made the end of the book seem rushed or like an afterthought.
But overall - I am VERY intrigued by this series and will absolutey continue the series.

My favorite thing about this book was learning/meeting the new characters. While the struggles Mare went through do seem real, I found them rather tedious. Like many “second books” this was focused on setting up the next in the series. Still enjoying it but really looking forward to the next.
