Holy crap. I DEVOURED this book. I needed to know what was going to happen with Jude, Madoc, Carden, ...I mean really everyone. There were some people that Jude forgave that I'm still mad at. New friends that I LOVE and wish I got more of.

Definitely so happy that my friend Roni rec'ed this to me, and gifted it to me 🥰, so I could experience this world!

After reading the first two books and rating them both five stars I was nervous this one would not hold up. While it was not my favorite of the trilogy it definitely held up and was an excellent conclusion to all of the story set up in the first two books. I had no lingering questions, and while I would always want more time with these characters I think it ended perfectly.

This was a great addition to the series. This book surprised me. I thought it would be similar to the last one in terms of being mostly about politics but it was not. I was glad that there were twists and turns that I was definitely not expecting

like Carden turning into a giant snake??

a very tense conclusion! loved the more romance in this book it was great! the s book has not left my mind since i read it. Jude is so amazing but newly raw in this book - we get to learn a bit about her deeper emotions bere and it’s truly very captivating. this was my favorite of the trilogy.

if i could give this book a 6, definitely my favorite in the series, and in my top 3 overall, the characters are just so lovable/hatable and the politics are complex but not confusing. theres good representation of LGBTQ couples, and interracial couples (sorta) and theres actually black characters for once in a fantasy. excellent book, excellent representation, beautiful writing. definitely would recommend to anyone interested in a good fantasy read.
