 Better than the second one, not as good as the first. Well braided story lines with previously introduced characters. Interesting take on class wars and ideology.

An enjoyable read, mainly because the cast of characters is so enjoyable. I liked the banter and push and pull dynamic between Hawthorne and Alan, but wasn’t rooting for their love story as much as in the previous books. 

I was left a bit wanting with the way the plot wrapped up though. Like I’m still a bit confused as to what actually happened with the allstone. As some other reviewers said the I thought the Fae character’s role could have been more significant somehow. And, the resolution being that now there is more equitable access to magic but only if you’re a landowner felt tone deaf.

I kept finding myself just wanting more of Robin and Edwin throughout the book.

Probably my favorite couple of the trilogy. Didn’t always follow the magic plot but fine with it.

I didn’t know it was the third book in a trilogy until I was almost finished. It was good, about different folks falling for each other in a magical 19th century England. Predictable but enjoyable.
