De todos los libros de la saga fue mi favorito. Los primeros dos son medio aburridos y este es el más interesante. Siento que la saga empezó siendo de una forma pero terminó de otra muy diferente. Tal vez porque tenían que ser dos libros y terminaron siendo cuatro. Los primeros son más inocentes, de típica fantasía young adult, pero los otros se enfocan más en la guerra y la política.

Me gustó el final. Sabía que Jules tenía que ser reina desde el primer libro, pero pensé que todas las trillizas iban a morir. Me gustó que Arsinoe sobreviva, porque ella y Billy son mis favoritos, y merecen estar juntos.


Honestly, I’m disappointed.
Not as much as I was with the third book, but still.

TRIGGER WARNING: gore, blood, torture

I will always love the world building in this series. I was intrigued by the concept of the triplet queens who are raised together, then separated and forced to fight to the death for the crown, which is unique. The way the island is portrayed as a living, breathing entity fascinated me. I also liked the way the mist was given it’s own kind of personality — choosing when it appears and who it harms. I was getting ready for bed just after finishing this book and had the window open when I realized there was a thick fog warning, and I was too afraid to leave the window open.

“I thought I was safe. But no one is.”

The pacing was kind of slow for the majority of the book. I felt like there was a lot of building up to the action, which was somewhat disappointing, since the previous book seemed like a lot of a build up as well. I guess I was expecting there to be a lot more action in this book, but instead there was a lot of maneuvering going on.

The plot twists were good, and definitely surprised me. I was disappointed that my favorite characters had the endings that they did, but I think the ending of the book turned out well. I liked how things wrapped up, although after reading this, I definitely identified with this quote:

“I’m not the same. And by the time this is over, none of use ever will be again.”

Such a fun series! I loved it so much, and had no idea where it would take me.

genuinely love this series and think it was a great ending even if we said goodbye to some of my faves

i’m gonna be honest…this is just to mark my inheritance games re read

A perfect ending to this series. I don't wanna spoil, but Kendare Blake has the epic fantasy genre down :)

I can safely say, after reading the whole series, I've never seen this much dialogue in a fantasy before. Give me more movement and action next time.

I am pleased with who dies and who survives though.
