Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore
4.0
The best in the series, for me anyway.
It is slower more character driven rather than plot and the romance isn't even the 3rd most important thing in the book.
it was nice to see previous characters and have the 2 previous stories connected. The characters have aged and grown and some get better development, one in particular I didn't like in Graceling but is now one of my favourite characters.
the story is more of a political fantasy, not to the standards of Game of Thrones, but in its own YA way.
The book has it's issues, I think the conclusions to every answer came very quickly in the last 150 pages, everything got answered and I wish it had slowly unravelled. The writing is still imperfect at times, having to reread the same sentence and add in punctuation just to make it make sense. And sometimes the vocabulary just feels unnecessary. Like a young person who has just discovered a new word and has to use it somewhere. But it is the best written and best paced in the series so far.
I no longer feel that continuing is going to be a chore and enjoy continuing Bitterblue's story in the next.
