The end of this trilogy was well written. There were several surprises, more amusing moments, and, unfortunately, heartbreak. Though one can expect the later when war is occurring. Fin coming into his own was great to read. The epilogues were my favorite parts and left me wanting to read the next books.
I listened to the series and enjoyed it until this book. The voices were a bit off it seemed. Most distractingly the voice for Kraken was entirely different from book two. It gave the character an entirely different feel which took away from how wonderful he had been previously.

I loved the first two- this one just had a big tone shift in the story and was missing that light hearted feel that drew me to the books, it was still a great story with a good end, but wasn’t my favorite direction for a twist

I'm quite delighted with this series. The first is by the far the coziest, and there are a few plot holes i wish had been tied up, but if you're willing to just read for vibes it's delightful.

I liked the series overall, and the other two books I gave 5 stars. This one was not as lighthearted as the other ones, but I would still call it cozy fantasy.
It was very fast paced, and I feel like I could have been a bit longer. A lot of stuff in the end is just told not shown. I did not have a huge problem with that, but it might disappoint some.
The reason I gave this 3 stars:
I hated the surprise pregnancy, because it was so clear to me that Annika did not want to be a mother. I felt so sad for her and HATED when they started to treat her like she is not a spy and assassin, just... pregnant.
I also did not like that her power and character kind of faded when they got married. For example: Fin says that he might be the only viscount that leaves his duties to his wife and he talks about all the new stuff he had to suffer (buh hu). I WISH he left it to her. There were a lot of these small things, and it made me so sad to see her losing her things, home and power because of the marriage. She is not a helpless child and I feel like she was lost in this book. I know she was the one killing the king, but I still feel disappointed because the other characters stopped believing in her.
I also got so angry when Fin made her apologize in the end, because she did not leave when the fight started. I hated that power shift, like he can control her?? "You have to protect more than yourself now", bitch stfu, she did not even wanna be a parent.
The second book handled pregnancy well, and I feel so weird about Annika getting pregnant. It feels like her and Fin were "not enough" to be a family, and for Fin's powers to become stronger he had to have children. Nah fam, not a fan.
I wish it had ended without kids, and they would have been happy regardless.
