A Sorrow Fierce and Falling by Jessica Cluess
3.0
2.5 stars ... Well I didn't hate it...honestly I was very ambivalent about the whole book. Which is SUCH a disappointment because I really enjoyed the first two books! I feel like more often than not I end up disappointed in a series.
There were so many good ideas in this series and honestly I think the hot mess that was the romantic square did the plot a huge disservice. I was ok with it in book 1 bc I assumed a direction would be taken but nope. As a result, I felt like character personalities were just yo-yo-ing all over the place and seemed inconsistent while making Henrietta seem wishy washy. I 100% thought blackwood was possessed or something at the end of book 2 bc of the way he was acting but HAHA no that's just the characters being inconsistent. The only arc I liked thru this series was Magnus so there's that. I wouldn't have made it thru this if it wasn't for Fiona Hardingham's narration.
This book isn't BAD and the writing is enjoyable I just had a hard time fitting it in with the rest of the series. And then I became ambivalent.
