This series as a whole is magnificent and overflowing with queer joy. 
This book specifically had very dense, action packed plot, with deeply fascinating world-building as always, while also making time for FOUR of the spiciest, kinkiest, well-written sex scenes I’ve ever read. Power dynamics are so rarely written, especially in the romantasy genre, with proper boundaries and consent. This book absolutely has all the necessary checks in place and it was the better for it. 
Bravo.

I think this is an excellent close to a delightful series. A LOT is addressed, introduced, and resolved throughout, so it’s definitely plot-heavy, but the characters still shine. It had the “last battle” feel of a good fantasy series closer, with emotions and tension running high. I will say, though I love the characters, I didn’t like the romance as much in this one. It necessarily took a back seat to the larger plot, which I don’t mind at all, but I didn’t find myself rooting for Jack and Alan as much as the other couples (though I was absolutely rooting for them individually!). Overall,  a great read — love this series ✨

I just think this series is so great and I thought this was a really nice conclusion to it. I absolutely love the worldbuilding and magic descriptions in this, loved seeing the characters from the other books again, and as expected, loved Jack and Alan's relationship.
