This series just gets better and better. I’ll admit the first 1/3 was a bit slow but when it picked up it just didn’t stop!
Poor Paige needs a bloody holiday! That poor girl, she doesn’t stop at all.
This book made me smile, devastated and angry. But my goodness I loved it.
This series is definitely my new Roman Empire and one of my favourites of all time.

wtf??? also, love when a story uses the "this goes all the way to the top" or "this is so much bigger than all of us" line! definitely cried at that goodbye. incredible.
Original review from 2018:
Yet another great book to round out all of the books published in this series so far. This one was by far the most emotional and also the biggest.
One of the problems I tend to have with series (particularly fantasy, sci-fi or alternate history) is widening the scope. Some writers take on too much and blunder; others keep it too small and the story suffocates. Shannon expands the world of The Bone Season so organically and so in tune with our narrator's own struggle that it doesn't even feel like fiction at all.
And boy does Paige Mahoney struggle in this one. Her emotional depth expands as rapidly as the map. There's so much at stake and Shannon pushes that at every turn, making the reader wonder just how desperate Paige can possibly get. And it's a high stakes game.
Not to mention how genuine the dialogue and character interactions feel. If you haven't read this series, get on it. Book four is apparently imminent.
