While I did enjoy this story overall and it was quite fun, it definitely was too long/quite slow for anything to happen, which prevents me from giving it 4 stars

I haven't read the other books in the series so I am working on just this book. It was very easy to follow and characters were easy to understand without having an entire backstop. The story itself was gripping but I felt that it dragged in some areas and some things I just didn't think was necessary. I felt like I dipped in and out of interest for the story.

Honestly, the characters were the best part of this book and I would happily give a five stars for Lord Silver alone. I would love a spin off.

I am sad to be no longer living in this world

 Okay yeah I loved this!! It's my favorite in the series so far. There is so much intrigue and mystery. And the characters!! All my faves are present, and some fascinating new actors really added to the story. And Irene has so many badass moments!!
