I don’t think I will ever get over how devastating this book is.
We’ve all read fantasy books with wars, rebellions, and battles.
But this is one of the few the come to mind when I think of real sacrifice.
Alwyn Hamilton has never been afraid to kill off characters, and it truly shows here...and I think it’s one of the reasons I love these books so much.
Because the characters we’ve loved and grown attached to in the last two books?
We are truly afraid for them now.
We’ve seen their friends and family alike die.
And we know that they will not all make it out alive.
Every single chapter in this series has been leading up to this book.
And it doesn’t disappoint in any way.
I know I’ve said this before, but Alwyn Hamilton’s writing is stunning.
Not only in the descriptions and atmosphere (which is beautiful) but in the fairytale-like stories she tells.
Every character has a legend.
Every character will leave a story behind.
But Amani is not just the Blue Bandit.
Jin is not just the Foreign Prince.
And every single character has their own tale to tell.
Of the rebellion, of their lives, and of their loves.
So I think that’s why I come back to this series again and again.
Because the characters, the storytelling, and the world all have a firm grip on my heart and refuse to ever let me go.
Thanks for reading! ❤️
