8/10. I liked this book the best out of the trilogy. It had the most romance, Jude finally had people she could trust and lean on, and the trajectory of the plot also made sense. Additionally, I will say that there were a few times that I was genuinely surprised which does not happen very often to me. I don't wholly love the romance between Jude and Cardan but I like it well enough. This isn't a stand-out series to me and I don't know if I will read it again considering I did not like the first book very much but I like it well enough to keep the books on my shelf.

Holly Black, you’ve done it again. The massive conflict between the Crown and Judes father, who commands an army of his own. There are several surprises in store in this book, as well as a truly stunning transformation for Carden. I really loved this book, and I’m very sad the series is over. 10/10 would recommend.
