A great finisher to the Montague books! I felt for Adrian and his struggles with mental illness. It doesn't all get wrapped up in a nice bow, it is realistic about the ongoing struggle and need for healing.  It was great to also see how felicity and Monty had grown and see their family bonds grow stronger.

Its a swashbuckling adventure and the main characters mental health struggles so often resemble my own it made me feel So Seen and the way Adrians character progresses from beginning to end is so on point and hopeful.

I thought the second book in this trilogy would remain my favourite, but this one topped it! Adrian's struggle with his mental health are so relatable and understandable, and make him probably my favourite Montague. I also loved Felicity and Monty in this, and think the time jump and the character growth was handled really well. Overall, an excellent book!
