Much better than the first. I still want to see more development of briar’s powers. Loved seeing what Red and Shane had in store, and I cannot wait for more character development. I’m quite liking the retelling of multiple different princesses/fairytales. Fi (I’m in audiobook so that could be totally spelled wrong idk) has started to grow into herself, but I think with this final book, we will see her full character arc which I am super excited for. All in all, I have enjoyed this story, and despite it not having a ton going on, I like the pace of the plot.

After being completely obsessed with book 1 I was so excited for this, and it was so so worth the wait!! I love my badass, treasure hunting, axe wielding smart women!!!

I love the adventure/Indiana Jones vibes that we get while Fi and Shane discover all the ruins and hidden passage ways and traps, I can only imagine how cool it would be to see it play out in live action! And I was glad to see that even though we found Brair in book 1 that there was still plenty of adventuring left to go.

I begged for more Red after Bone Spindle and we got it!!! Who doesn't love a morally grey villain with a horrible past that makes their 'evilness' completely valid

I really like this series because the partnership is not threatened by the romantic leads

It felt very young, even younger than most ya books do. I just couldn’t really get into it. Not for me at all.
