I binged this series so quickly and I thought it was well done! I honestly wish this last book was longer or the plot spanned two books just because there was a lot packed into this story that could have been expanded on to be a little more complex and political.
Again with the fae powers, they were sort of just brushed over until convenient for Rowan to use and win the battle? I wish they would have been utilized more in the story or not part of it at all.
I wish we would have gotten more of the Lochlann characters featured in book 3 but I'm glad we got to return to all the people from Clan Bear from book 2. I also liked the change of POV in this book - I didn't find Evander's POVs boring or unnecessary at all (which I think is sometimes a problem when it comes to POV changes in book series). Overall, I really liked the setting of this series and its characters! It was super easy to read and understand, and also really fun.
