My favourite of the series so far!
The writing is beautiful, though I did sometimes find myself needing to reread passages to fully grasp all of the metaphors and similes.
We also jumped between a lot of different characters and I struggled to keep track of them all — not only within this book, but across the first two books as well.
My gosh — if this cast of characters aren't the most odious I've ever read about! And I shudder to think that people like this actually exist in the world. 😩
