If you like fantasy and you're not reading this series then WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? This series just has everything I want in a fantasy: strong world building that is well paced throughout the story, intense action, magic that feels genuine within the world, just the right about of romance that doesn't overwhelm other aspects of the story, villains that have motivations beyond "ahaha I'm evil because why not", smart plotting that constantly leaves me guessing, main characters that make my heart just ache every time something bad happens to them and make me yell in triumph whenever they succeed, and a touch of destiny. This book in particular really had some amazing character progression, and the last third of the book had me SO SHOOK. Also THAT ENDING. WAT. Just read this series. Please.
5/5. Also, the audio narration for this book is excellent, with multiple narrators and great acting.
For those that HAVE read this installment:
