I really liked this book. I read as long as I could up until bedtime a few nights in a row, and then kept waking up in the middle of the night to think about the book. I wonder how it would be to reread it, if it still packs a punch now that I know what happens.

I wondered if I would tire of the imprisonment scenario, since I've read a couple other books lately with a similar set up, but it stayed interesting enough. Then the next part was delightful, a lovely respite and then back to exciting, which this series does so well. I liked the pacing of this book in particular. (The second book had me stressing!)

Now I'm about to start the final book, and I will say that throughout this book, I started worrying: If this series ends with Cal on the throne with E as his wife, and Maven restored and back together with Mare... Then by my colors!

Slower, more tedious than last one

Vieeel zu langatmig, nix passiert und mir zu emotionslos. Es interessiert mich einfach nicht mehr.

i cant believe i waited so long to read this. for a series marketed as YA, this was an intense read - from Mare's captivity and the psychological impact of that, to the war (child soldiers, anyone?). And Montfort's plan

Very slow and uneventful beginning , but it did get better toward the end.
