REVIEW
WOW I loved this book. HUGE payoff culminated from the journey we've been on through all 3 books. I was initially terrified to start this one when I did since the 4th one wasn't scheduled to drop until May 2022 (and at this point it was July 2021) and I didn't know if I could deal with a book hangover for that long, especially if I didn't like the ending. But honestly I'm so glad I did because the ending puts you in this perfect place where you can't wait to find out what happens next but you aren't left absolutely devastated. This book does everything right. Spoilers because I can't help but want to talk about it:
This is not the best or most clear book review because I'm still so wound up from it but man, I CANNOT wait until May 2022!
Here's my rating break down:
- Characters - 1 star
- Each character, no matter how small, is so well written and has a part to play.
- World - 1 star
- Cannot WAIT to see where we go from here, through the main character's point of view AND Queen Malina's!
- Plot - 1 star
- Everything tied up so nicely and everything played out better than I could have expected or thought of myself.
- Emotional Investment - 1 star
- I think I read this all in one sitting, it was insane. Loved every second of it.
- Entertainment/Interest - 1 star
- I can't think of one dull moment throughout this whole book, everything seemed so intentional and important.
