Destroy the Day by Brigid Kemmerer

3.0

3.5 stars. I really liked this series—book 1 and 2 being solid 4 stars for me. And I thought this one would follow similarly. Instead, I find myself SO disappointed in the ending of this book. It felt like the author realized she needed to wrap it up soon, so she did so in the most non-climactic way possible. Everything wrapped in a neat little bow. Traitorous counsels? Let’s have Harristan blow them all up instead of having some kind of Justice and clearing the air to the people. King Corrick—who the people have overwhelmingly thought of as a cruel man who tortured people senselessly—suddenly accepted? Harristan disappears without having to clean up the mess of the kingdom left? I appreciated some of the conclusions—like Lochland being named the King’s Justice and Olive making negotiations on behalf of Ostriary. But overall, I was very disappointed in the ending.
