After enjoying books one and two and the dark  dramantic plot moves, this felt a little more subdued. And the final act just didn’t punch as much as the previous books had in their final act

I wanted more of ghost, taryn and I wanted more interaction between the leads ( Jude and cardan).

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

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!

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.
