there were lots of reveals and twists and turns in this book.

i knew i wanted to like justus in book 1 for a reason... and i'm glad his character development followed through! 

was surprised about meriam. was surprised by minimus. 

dante is, unsurprisingly, horrendous. does in-character shenanigans for him.

the whole curse and wards complicated mess gets more complicated in this book and then is finally explained, thankfully. 

wanted more time between fallon and aoife and other crows to develop the relationships there. 

that ending!!!! there was enough emotional resolution, but then also... not??? paving the way for book 4, i guess. (you bet your behind i will be reading book 4!!)

a few spice scenes in this book (like in book 2).

Well that was quite the epic adventure! I can’t believe I hadn’t heard of this series until last week. It really should be on more people’s radar! I couldn’t get enough of this story! The world, the magic, the characters…….SO GOOD. I’m sad it’s over, but I’ll definitely be picking up the spin off next year so I can revisit this world. I’ll also be reading this author’s other books because I’m definitely a FAN!

I was disappointed by the way Fallon was written towards the end. I think I wanted her to finish Dante off alone, and not with heavy support from Jutus.

I loved this trilogy. Loved the world building, the magic, the Crows, the grumpy-sunshine romance, how the characters evolved

This book took quite a turn from the first two. It was full of action, Fallon grew up quite a bit, other characters became more interesting, the plot and plot twists really levelled up, and the happy moments, found family and occasional banter gave it a nice ballance.

My only criticism is, more please...I really hope to see more of the happy ever after and not just of Lore & Fal, but the other characters we came to love. Their stories should be heard! ❤️🐦‍⬛🌞
