Thanks to Tordotcom Books for the free copy of this book.
- It was so wonderful to be back in the Last Binding world for one more time with A POWER UNBOUND. Given that this is the last book in a trilogy, I'll try not to get too much into plot, but this one had me on the edge of my seat.
- Jack and Alan are a fiery pair, and watching them break down their walls was a treat.
- I'll admit I didn't quite follow how all the magic worked in this one, but this found family is such a delight that it doesn't really matter, you just want to see them succeed.

What an ending! I am left sated and content. The confusion regained all the full breath-taking force of the first book and drove home to a most wonderful conclusion.
Jack and Alan are by far my favourite pair and their romance scratches soooooooooo many trope itches I love. They hurl insults and vitriol back and forth with abandon in a way that they both enjoy. The SMUT is EXCELLENT. Consensual non-consent kinks and blistering hate that drives lust.
I very much enjoyed the plot and the discussions Marske brings forth about patriarchy, classism, colonialism. I will be sad to leave these book friends behind but will relish the time spent in their company. Cheers!
Thanks to NetGalley and Pan Macmillan for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
