My favorite of the series so far. I need the next, and soon! I’m so confused by that ending and I want answers.

shelbyboots's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH: 10%

One of the worst things I’ve read. Almost certainly written by AI using the other two books. Genuine garbage.

Was really disappointed by something that happens toward the end (vague character death spoiler but not mentioning names)
I didn't expect Rebecca Yarros to feed into the Bury Your Gays trope when she's been pretty firm on the representation of different characters in the stiry so far. I truthfully did not understand plot-wise why it even needed to happen especially seeing as it was a somewhat side character so... why even mention the fact they had a same-gender partner at all if they were gonna be killed off but 🤷🏻‍♀️


Aside from that, this book did a lot of things so well. The character development of several different characters, a good mix of humor, world building, action, etc. The ending left on a pretty big cliffhanger, even bigger than Iron Flame imo, so definitely looking forward to the next one when it comes. Definitely prepare yourself to cry at least once cause I did and it was very unexpected.
