i think this is my fave of the trilogy. i love this book series so much that i started naming my stardew valley characters after the characters because i feel like they all live in my head now that i’ve finished the series

The book started out very slow, especially compared to the first book.  I really enjoyed the added magic lore and background that was provided through this book, as well as getting to know the background characters better!  The last six or so chapters of the book were so engaging that I couldn’t put the book down!  If you like magic, this is a good book for you to read! There are also religious undertones throughout the book that are approached through multiple perspectives, which was interesting to see.
