Good continuation of the story, this one felt marginally slower paced than the previous 2 books, but it worked for the situations in this story. This book brought the introduction of multiple narrators which was a fun addition and helpful to the story!

3.0

 Glass Sword was dark and painful and when I wrote a review from that book I said I think the next one is going to be worse ... and I was right. The first part was especially painful. Then the ending was so much worse. I just really hope the next book is less painful.

Very high stakes and action-packed!

This one had multiple pov, and while I enjoyed some, other pov's didn't entirely make sense to me. Overall, it was enjoyable and I liked seeing the abilities of new characters more!

The ending definitely had me slightly annoyed but so ready to find out what happens next to conclude the story!

man do I enjoy seeing a bunch of fucked up insane and incredibly mentally ill teenagers and young adults make a bunch of incredibly problematic and questionable choices repeatedly like their lives depended on it for a whole series straight!!
5 stars cause everyone ate and slayed and delivered and served cunt. also relate to some of these characters on a spiritual level. they are just like me fr. also YASS

evil queer villains/spoiler> we love to see it!!
The character developments and arcs and overall construction of the characters is also incredible. Go read it right now!!!

Maven once again saved this horrible abomination.

Tell me why does Mare end up with Cal? He chose THRONE over HER TWICE!!! If a man does that he should be glad he doesn't have red mark on his face from my hand
