Fuck. This. Book. I nearly threw it across the lobby at my office because I was so mad. CAN WE NOT HAVE 5 MINUTES BEFORE FORTUNA FUCKS IT ALL UP AGAIN?!? That being said I love the character development and the world building.

I either needed a refresher of the events from Book 2 or the start of this book was super slow. It took me a bit to remember some of the events and people that we met in Book 2. Once the action picked up in this book, it was PERFECTION. I love the uniqueness in the magic and the choices the author makes is spectacular and unique. The romantic portion is interesting and something that keeps you on your toes. Part of me thinks that a Fortuna, Colith, and Laurie pairing is the only solution but after reading this I want Gwyn thrown in the equation somewhere. I LOVE the ending of this book and think it was an absolutely perfect ending that sets up Book 4 nicely (and the rest of the series for that matter). Can’t wait to see where this series goes next! I did give this book a 4 out of 5 stars because the beginning needed to be better and some minor scenes did not have as much of an impact as they could. I wonder if the author would consider adding after a content warning page a recap page to remind everyone of the previous events. I think at the start of Book 4 having the last lines of Book 3 would help to improve it.
