House of Striking Oaths by Olivia Wildenstein
adventurous
emotional
mysterious
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
4.5
there were lots of reveals and twists and turns in this book.
i knew i wanted to like justus in book 1 for a reason... and i'm glad his character development followed through!
was surprised about meriam. was surprised by minimus.
dante is, unsurprisingly, horrendous. does in-character shenanigans for him.
the whole curse and wards complicated mess gets more complicated in this book and then is finally explained, thankfully.
wanted more time between fallon and aoife and other crows to develop the relationships there.
that ending!!!! there was enough emotional resolution, but then also... not??? paving the way for book 4, i guess. (you bet your behind i will be reading book 4!!)
a few spice scenes in this book (like in book 2).
