bon..
d'un côté, il y a des passages qui étaient vraiment chouettes et le développement des personnages a continué à être intéressant, bien que pas toujours très réaliste.
de l'autre, c'était BEAUCOUP TROP rapide, les scènes s'enchaînent et les choses se dénouent de manière assez peu réaliste.
finalement, le moment le plus long est le moment de la malédiction, alors qu'il aurait pu être bien plus court pour laisser la place aux scènes d'action, par exemple.


j'ai un peu l'impression d'avoir perdu mon temps avec cette trilogie, j'ai lu pire certes mais j'ai lu mieux aussi en terme de fantastique YA.


bref, bien que des passages m'aient plu et que l'univers m'ait un peu captivé, je ne recommande pas. ça ne vaut clairement pas la hype qu'on en fait.

i cant believe im done. im sad its over! i really have no major complaints. the
serpent
plot was a little weird and i half wish i wouldve gotten more catharsis with
cardan and jude
. but its not in their nature. otherwise, deliciously entertaining which is what i wanted and expected

“ […] and Baphen was uncomfortably reminded that some prophecies are fulfilled by the very actions meant to prevent them.”

Other than absurd lack of communication leading to totally preventable misunderstandings, this book was PHENOMENAL.

I loved this book so much, it just took me almost 100 pages before I got really into it, and It might be because I took breaks in between reading but honestly this book was just amazing to read. It was so good that I didn't want to put it down but I also did because I didn't want to finish the book and the world, their characters and lives to all be over. But eventually I just sat down and read just over two hundred pages in one day cause that's how into the book I was. 

I would recommend reading the first two book first (obviously) to understand this book but I thoroughly enjoyed the writing, the character devolvement and the revel of traitors and the exciting but very welcomed twist and turns that were around every corner. I loved this book to bits and I would have given it 5 stars, but it just took me a while to fully get into it, but I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who will listen to me talk about it.

I freaking love this trilogy so much! We get so much political manipulations and intrigue,  an enemies to lover that we find out was actually...he fell first and he fell harder...and so much more 🥰

Holy crap. I DEVOURED this book. I needed to know what was going to happen with Jude, Madoc, Carden, ...I mean really everyone. There were some people that Jude forgave that I'm still mad at. New friends that I LOVE and wish I got more of.

Definitely so happy that my friend Roni rec'ed this to me, and gifted it to me 🥰, so I could experience this world!
