A great finisher to the Montague books! I felt for Adrian and his struggles with mental illness. It doesn't all get wrapped up in a nice bow, it is realistic about the ongoing struggle and need for healing. It was great to also see how felicity and Monty had grown and see their family bonds grow stronger.

I really loved the first book in this series and enjoyed the 2nd a reasonably amount. But this just felt unnecessary and like it was written because the other books were popular. It was supposed to be 20 years later and Monty and Felicity both acted like teenagers. This was obviously frustrating. I think I might just be too old for this.

I really enjoyed this novel and I finished it quite quickly! This addition into the series continues Lee’s well researched historical fiction novels with a magical twist. Adrian was a great protagonist and his struggles with mental health felt real and meaningful. It was great to see my favorite characters as adults and the long time gap between novels allowed Lee to flesh them out more.

Overall, this was very enjoyable and I’m sad there is not another book but Lee ended this series on a very strong note!
