5.0

The third book of The Last Binding is here and I can't believe it's been almost two years since I first read A Marvelous Light. I think the first book will always be my favorite, but this one lived up to its predecessors and was a nice ending to the trilogy. 

Jack and Alan have an entertaining begrudging allies to lovers relationship, with so much more emotion than either of them thought would come of it. We learn more of Jack's backstory in this one and there's a line in the start of the book about "sets wanting to remain together" that was simply heart wrenching as we learned more about Jack and his sister. 

This book shows off more of the sentient house hold/magician owned land and it was so fun to see that play out with Spinnet House. I loved the epilogue and have a lot of feelings about it that I'll keep to myself for the sake of remaining spoiler free!

Thank you to NetGalley for making this available in exchange for an honest review!
