4.0

This book had a fast paced from the gey go, starting more like a climax, than a beginning. No gentle ease you on hack here. The characters are instantly continuing with everything that happened previously. The stakes are high, lives are in peril and we have no chance to breathe.

Saying that however we do have time with the characters as they adjust to new roles, consider their past actions and decide how to manage their future. We meet new characters, see the overarching plot and mystery develop with some answers and more questions. 

A bit of romantic tension for those who enjoy that. 
More Magic.
More intrigue.
More plots.

It was a really fun ride, exactly what I needed!
