4.75

I think I need to think about the rating for this one. I think I'll give it 4.75 because... the pacing is so fast, in each chapter something happens. That lovely- except in my case where I am binging the series. MY HEAD. I love how character focused it is, but there are also moments that I kinda wish would just slow down. 

That being said, this is such a good action packed book. My favorite story line of the book was definitely everything that had to do with mother
finding out everything the Cook went through, and then seeing her stand for her last remaining daughter... and then Helene's sister giving birth in the middle of the war. Keris and her lack of emotion for Elias, despite having a lovely mother growing up- I loved it all.
