This was definitely the weakest of the seasonal quartet so far for me. Spring felt often like two different books that had been hastily thrown together in the third part. While I enjoyed the prose and themes of spring and rebirth in part 1, it had very little drive forwards. While the political commentary of part 2 was brilliant as always, but was given to quite underdeveloped characters. Overall Spring just felt like it needed more polish and cohesion throughout
