Girls of Fate and Fury
by Natasha Ngan
Actual Rating: 2.5 stars
This should have been a duology. I absolutely LOVED the first two books so I can't believe how much I didn't like the third book in this series. Book 3 felt like a lot of filler. It was 90% politics and war. It lacked the essence of the previous books, which was friendship, romance, vulnerability and depth... Maybe if I'd read this sooner, I might have been all for Book 3 since this during the peak of political high fantasy. It just felt like something was missing or like it could have been shaved down by at least 100 pages.
Now that I think about it, I had the same issues with GoFaF as I did Sarah J. Maas' Kingdom of Ash. So many cliches, so many characters, so many subplots that come out of left field. It's a consistent problem I see in YA fantasy series when they reach the finale.
Ash's review and Sophia's review sum up my sentiments.
