I loved the first two books, but was disappointed by this one.
The story dragged on, the plot jumped all over the place and felt confusing with all of the side plots being brought up and then dropped again.
I still feel like I didn’t fully understand everything that happened, and at one time I had to google for explanations.
Then there is a trope being used I wasn’t a fan of, but what I thought was even worse is that the author didn’t go through with it and basically took it back at the end, basically erasing any importance that trope had in the first place.
I still love the world the author build for this series and Emilia’s and Wrath’s relationship.
There were some fun plot twists and I was happy with the way Emilia’s and Vittoria’s story turned out. I also liked that some characters, that didn’t seem too important in the first books, were brought back and had a bigger part to play.
I’m glad I finished this series, but I thought it deserved a better ending.
