I both really liked and disliked this book when I was reading. I had, and still do, a lot emotions with this book. The issues I had came down to personal preference, which is why the book wasn't 5 stars but still high.
Plot wise I loved it all and thought it was really really well done. I'm still not sure how I feel about the ending. but at the same time I know that not matter the ending I would probably still feel this way. I also felt that the characters were all really good and felt very complex and different from one another. Arthur was the only exception to enjoying all the characters. He felt very odd and unlikeable in this book. He is a very black and white character though and I know I struggle to like those characters a lot.
Despite my mixed emotions when reading, I still enjoyed this book and loved the series as a whole. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for something different in their YA fantasy.
