just going to repeat what i said in my book 2 (bloodmarked) review because i read them back-to-back and it holds true: god what a brilliant continuation of this incredible series. tracy deonn is a mastermind; the way she expanded on the world and magic system she introduced in books 1 and 2 in such unique and unexpected ways, the way she raised the stakes with twists and turns and new characters that never felt like they just popped out of nowhere for the sake of plot, the way so many threads introduced in books 1 and 2 are starting to (un)tangle, the entertaining and silly (in a good way) side quests,

THE ROMANCE(S)!!!?!?!?

, the explosive finale - all of it was chef's kiss. the strongest fantasy series i've read in maybe a decade. 

this was the best book of the series imo and i have no idea how i'm going to survive the wait for the finale.
