Five Dark Fates by Kendare Blake

4.0

Five Dark Fates was one of my most anticipated reads of the year, and it did not disappoint! ⁣

The characters are so addicting that throughout this entire series my choice for favorite queen flip-flopped between all three. This final installment went almost exactly as I was hoping/expecting, so that was super exciting! Without giving away spoilers, I will say Katherine’s ending was a surprise to me and Jules’ ending was another I was not expecting, and I found her much more tolerable in this final book. And Pietyr. I don’t even have proper words for Pietyr’s character. He is so complex and unpredictable and he threw me for a little loop there towards the end. ⁣

I have few complaints for this book. The beginning was a little slow. It seemed about 30 pages in that big things were about to happen, but I found myself waiting for a while. I also was a little let down by the final battle, only because I thought it lacked strategy and didn’t have enough action. ⁣

Overall, this book satisfied my high standards and cemented my love for this series. I was pleasantly surprised it wrapped up as well as it did! ⁣
