tangleroot_eli's review against another edition

adventurous emotional tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

OK, now we're getting somewhere!

(Although, could anyone else use less of Severin and Laila's tortured romance? No? Just me? Sheesh, I'm such a cynic.)

Love did not always wear the face one wished it would.
Sometimes it looked downright monstrous.
- p.399

The above quote perfectly encapsulates what this series is. This book, it tore my heart to pieces!! I love the world, I love the characters, and I'm so happy I re-read  it so I can finally finish the trilogy!!! Bonus that I don't have to wait months for the book to come out, I can just grab it from my bookshelf this time
