FINAAAALLYYYY THIS BOOK TOOK ME MONTHS!!!

In all seriousness , this book is emotionally damaging to the highest degree. I don’t think I’ve ever read a book like this before. I took off .5 because I felt like the middle lagged a bit, but overall excellent series. I can’t wait to read the final book.

This is the second best book out of the series. It was a great continuation from the last book, but it went even more ridiculous, which threw me out a few times.

I struggled reading this one. Even though there was constant action, the writing didn't lock me in as much as the first or even the second book did. I got a little lost in the character names, especially the court and periphery characters. The story was winding and often seemed lost. I love the ideas, but this was definitely a dip in the series.
