After reading the first two books and rating them both five stars I was nervous this one would not hold up. While it was not my favorite of the trilogy it definitely held up and was an excellent conclusion to all of the story set up in the first two books. I had no lingering questions, and while I would always want more time with these characters I think it ended perfectly.

The best book in the trilogy. It was funny and loving but still had a bit of a thrill that left me on the edge of my seat. I love the characters I absolutely love cardan. These 3 books were the most easy reads I have read in a long time and I'm definitely going to read more of holly blacks books.
