I read this back to back with the second one, so they slightly blur together. I did really enjoy the series, and it reminds me a lot of how I’d felt reading when I was younger.

I liked the affection that was apparent through out the books, how the reader is lead to the prophecy, and that all the pieces seemed to come together.

On the other side, it often felt either rush or repetitive. And I strongly question why one of the smaller side characters was so prominent, and felt they could have been replaced by other larger side characters.

The first half of this book I had to slog through. So much more world building, which, since we got so much of that in the first two, I just wanted to get more story in this one. About the halfway mark, it did pick up pace but still just slightly above a slog. I was still enjoying it because I love this world so much. Then the ending happened, and I was ugly crying. I loved the ending so much. Then, the last chapter happened and ruined it. 3.5/5
