I loved this book so much, it just took me almost 100 pages before I got really into it, and It might be because I took breaks in between reading but honestly this book was just amazing to read. It was so good that I didn't want to put it down but I also did because I didn't want to finish the book and the world, their characters and lives to all be over. But eventually I just sat down and read just over two hundred pages in one day cause that's how into the book I was. 

I would recommend reading the first two book first (obviously) to understand this book but I thoroughly enjoyed the writing, the character devolvement and the revel of traitors and the exciting but very welcomed twist and turns that were around every corner. I loved this book to bits and I would have given it 5 stars, but it just took me a while to fully get into it, but I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who will listen to me talk about it.

tropes: enemigos a amantes, espías, y fantasía

Es lamentable que este final fuera tan x. Siento que, al final, solo quieres leer sobre Jude y Cardan porque sabes que no te darán lo suficiente de lo demás.

Pero la relación de Jude y Cardan no fue mostrada lo suficiente. Apenas los vemos juntos como pareja hasta el epílogo. Y, vamos a ser honestos, leo estos libros por Jude y Cardan, únicamente Jude y Cardan. Por ello, que nos dieran tan pocas escenas con ellos dos siendo una pareja es decepcionante.

Obvio fue entretenido de leer, pero la escritura y la estructura del libro son muy mediocres en mi opinión. Al final las estrellas que le doy son más que todo por nostalgia y lo que me imagino que pudo ser.

Not even a third of the way through, I was certain this book would exceed my love for the first book and I was right. I love the growth of the characters and watching both Jude and Cardan learn how to shed the lessons they learned about themselves and love from their toxic parental figures, learn how to have ambition without greed, and learn how to find their strength in their vulnerabilities. I was reluctant to finish this book because I wasn't ready to say goodbye to this story. 

I truly love the inclusion of Ben, Hazel, and Severine as well as the inclusion of their lore. It was nice having references of them before. But to see them and have Jude interact with them was a great addition to the world.
