Enjoyment - 4
These books really surprise me. This took me a second to get back into the world and characters, (mainly because I didn't remember too much from the first book) but then I was hooked. There was a whole lot more kingdom politicking in this than what I'd expect from a 2014 YA series. At first I wasn't sure I'd be interested in finishing the series, but after this finale, I think I have to finish the third and final book.
Start - 3
Characters - 3.5
Lots of believable and unique to each other characters. It's surprising how many side characters there are, but none feel flat.
Atmosphere - 3
Plot - 4
Ending - 4.5
Style - 3.5
Overall - 3.7

Content Warnings
Moderate: Colonisation
Minor: Death, Slavery, Violence, Trafficking, Alcohol, Sexual harassment, and War
I don't think that how the book handles the content is too much for a teenage, maybe a middle schooler would need some extra conversations about some stuff, but maybe not even then. Nothing is overt or explicit.
