A stunner to end a brilliant, wonderful trilogy, and a phenomenally done story for its main couple.
I loved everything about this one! Jack and Alan were everything that Robin and Edwin and Maud and Violet weren’t, in a great way, because it just felt like a wholly original tale in this trilogy.
Freya Marske is a genius and I can’t wait for more from her!!

Jack and Alan have an entertaining begrudging allies to lovers relationship, with so much more emotion than either of them thought would come of it. We learn more of Jack's backstory in this one and there's a line in the start of the book about "sets wanting to remain together" that was simply heart wrenching as we learned more about Jack and his sister.
This book shows off more of the sentient house hold/magician owned land and it was so fun to see that play out with Spinnet House. I loved the epilogue and have a lot of feelings about it that I'll keep to myself for the sake of remaining spoiler free!
Thank you to NetGalley for making this available in exchange for an honest review!

- 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.
