This one for me was so much better than book 2. 
While a little lengthy, by the time you finish the book you realize it was all necessary. The character development (even detailing side characters and new characters introduced) is what really drew me to become attached to the story even more than I already was. 

Part 3 was by far the most intense. Lots of twists that I didn't see coming. I also shed a tear or two that not even book 2 could muster from me. I give credit to the character building for that. You become attached and invested in this world that reading seemed like one big adventure.

There were times were I felt the story slowed its pace or I was waiting for the next big reveal to move the plot forward. When they came (oh and those WHAT?! Moments came for sure) it was more impactful and rewarding after the buildup throughout the story.

5 stars for me due to:
-Character development
-Interestings twists
-Tears

This could very well be a trilogy and end here; but I am excited to continue the story because I am not quite ready to leave the characters behind!
