I loved the pacing of this book. When
Robin’s curse was lifted
I was confused how the book would have ~30% more to go, but then at the ~90% mark, I didn’t know how everything would resolve in time! Of course, I loved the ending, and Marske sets up the end of the novel perfectly, not only for the sequel, but also to end the narrative journey that our characters had taken in an interesting and satisfying way. I very much enjoyed reading about Robin and Edwin, and though I am a little bummed that the next book in this trilogy won’t be about them, I still can’t wait to devour it and all that follow.
