i ADORED this book so much that i rated a book for the first time on this app 😭 however the cast is. not diverse. and i’m questioning the description of the clayr as dark-skinned and blond….seems strange to me

2020: This book was so full of action scenes and so little development of the characters I loved from the first two books. There was also only five pages of resolution after the climax. This book is considerably shorter than the second book, so I wonder why we couldn’t have had a better wrap up with the characters who just survived a huge trauma. I still love the world and characters, but this book’s plot took over everything else, unfortunately.
