Almost DNFed at 450+ pages after barely any meaningful plot development that far into the book. So disappointing after the fast-paced and well-plotted start to the series in the first three books.

I really liked this book. It was nice to see Slade and Auren grow closer and see their relationship evolve. The ending of this book had me gasping, crying, clutching my pearls. It was nice to see more of Slade’s past and more of the world. Auren has been through so much and although she occasionally slips on her journey she is so resilient. The relationship between Slade and Ryatt is also complex and interesting. There are lots of great written characters

and a lot to happen in the impending war.

I’m really interested to see where the series goes from here but I’m invested

Oh Raven. It took me a while to warm up, then you had me in the last book, but you started to lose me with this one. Digging the political intrigue but there’s too many POVs. The sex scenes are such a wildly different tone than the rest of the book it kind of makes me cringe, and imho they’re pretty intense for a *very recent* trauma survivor (and supposedly extremely sheltered girl - where did she even learn to be so filthy?!). Fae possessiveness trope also feels kinda icky in this context. 

I’m a sucker for a cadre though and love the side characters. Could have used way more Osrick and Rissa.
