Five Dark Fates
by Kendare Blake
I am pretty conflicted by the final book of this series. I liked it enough, and didn't ever feel like putting the book down, but the decisions made by the author in the last 150 pages or so left me with more questions than answers. Spoilers for the previous books in the series ahead.
This book starts with the rebellion struggling to regroup. Jules is a wreck - the legion curse has been unbound - and Arsinoe is trying to cure it. Mirabella has decided to accept Katharine's invitation to help fight the mist. And Katharine is struggling against the dead queens' control as they grow increasingly more violent.
And now, minor spoilers for Five Dark Fates ahead.
The biggest frustration I have with this book are the bits of plot that have either been abandoned or conjured out of nowhere for the sake of convenience. Much of what intrigued me in the third book is never resolved. The mystery of the Blue Queen gets pretty much abandoned early on in this book, and don't get me started about the Mist or the legion curse... But while I have a few complaints, I really did zip through this book and for the most part enjoyed myself. I wouldn't mind revisiting the world of Fennbirn again someday, and perhaps I'll like it better the next time I read it.
