I enjoyed this book a lot but since I read it in the tandem read with TOD it took me SO LONG to get through! I do think that it could've been a lot shorter (the german translation was 170 pages longer than the english one) and at some points I felt discouraged to get through it. 

I thought that the ending was really well played out and it made me feel a lot of things. 

Also can we just talk about Lorcan and Elide? I ship them SO HARD!

This book was so good, each book in the series just keeps getting better. The first half of the book was definitely a slow buildup but the ending is definitely worth it. I'm excited to see how this series wraps up in the last book.

Reading this one in tandem with Tower of Dawn was definitely a good way to take in the story for me. I would have been disappointed to have to read a whole other book in between this and the last book before the story progressed at all.
