when i started reading this, the third book in the wicked series, i thought for sure it would be my favourite and it was until the second half of the book. it started so strong and then it just took a turn and slowed down for me. it is the shortest book in the series so i think i subconsciously gave it extra points for that. i went back and forth the whole book on whether i liked brrr, the cowardly lion, or not and i honestly still don’t know.
