I thought this was a different way of ending the series. Going into the book, the other two books whilst feeling different were more tied together in their political drama angle of the book. This felt different to as it was less focused on the political aspect, and more on the fantastical areas. This lead to what felt like it went pretty fast read once we got back in the world of Faerie.
Whilst I would have liked more political drama in this book, I think this fantastical view fits much better as anything more political might have felt too much like the second book. I still had a lot of fun with this book and thought it still had solid characters and interactions that drew me into the series to begin with. I could also see how the ending ties into the the spin off series around Oak. I thought it was fun to see. I really liked how everything was wrapped up and it felt like a happy ending but also a realistic one for this world.

I can see why people didn't want to leave this world once they finished the series. It has just been a lot of fun reading and following these characters.

How could this be anything but a 5 ⭐️ review?? This was the perfect balance of love and lore. It wasn’t too much romance, definitely a slow burn. The main plot was also very good and really well thought out, and while it could have been confusing and political, it was written in a way so that it was not. The climax almost broke me, I cared that much. 11/10 would recommend!

there's a spicy scene in it! vaguely descriptive, but just enough so you know what's going on. it does a fade to black in addition to her rambling.

Waiting for this one after I finished the last one was so hard, but this was a solid and fast read. I didn't want to put it down and do my normal life things.
