Anyone who said this book was just a bridge to the final two can go ahead and fuck right off. I’m tempted to say this one is the best of the series. I’m gonna hold off on that declaration but good god…I was not anticipating so much of this book. There is so much about it that is top tier…the magic, the dragons, the loyalty, the fierceness, the girl power, the signets, the betrayal, the spice, the action, the adventure, the sorrow. I mean. This book has so much to give — I don’t have enough words. I haven’t cried like this in a long, long time. I love these characters — we’ve all grown together. I can’t wait to see what is in store for us in the final two books.
