5.0

  Just like the other books in this series, this book was such a page turner and there were plot twists at every corner. All the characters had really good writing and Laia’s trauma from being betrayed by the Nightbringer still haunts her even in this book. Both the internal and external conflicts felt very real and you could easily sympathize with even evil people like Marcus. All three of the main characters go through so much and they have to make super tough decisions that could bring the end of the world, especially The Blood Shrike, so it would make sense if they were unlikable characters.
