5.0

This is the third book in the series but it can be read as a standalone, all the important things you need to know from the first books are explained. In this book we follow Myth, a thief and Callan, a shade.
I loved Myth, he was a great protagonist and very relatable, I felt for him and I connected with him right away. Callan was a very unique character, I found him intriguing and I wanted to know more about him since book 2. I liked learning about his past and how he became a shade.
The chemistry between Callan and Myth was incredible and their dynamic was chef's kiss.
The pacing of the book was great and I really enjoyed the action scenes and the twists. I was hooked and found the ending very satisfying.
The world building was also really well done and I loved learning more about the magic system.
I listened the book and at the same time read the paperback and it's my favorite way to read. I had an absolutely amazing time, the narrator brought the story to life and I enjoyed every minute. It was really incredible.
