I thoroughly enjoyed the first book and while the second book wasn't as amazing to me as book 1, It was still fun. Book 3 on the other hand suffers from something I see often with fantasy writers... The story just gets too big and the stakes too large and eventually it's hard to make the reader care. The magic also became much to complicated and the logic inherent in the early skrivings disappeared. I don't understand why Bernice ended up alone 😭
