Actual Rating: 3.5*

I absolutely loved THE QUEEN'S RISING and was super excited for this one, so I pre-ordered it right away. Only for it to collect dust for 3 years. But no worries because I read it now!

This picks up right away after the last book, but if it's been a few years between reading them, don't worry! There is a bit of a recap throughout the first 10% to get you up to speed on what is happening, where our characters currently are, and what the next steps are before throwing us into the action of this book.

I thought there was a lot of character growth in both Brienna and Cartier in this book. They have a lot they are dealing with, but always have each other to rely on. Part of the best part of this book is seeing how their relationship continues to strengthen while maturing as the two characters do.

I was excited that this was a duology! Anything more would have been too much and dragged this story on. This had a good mixture of developing relationships and action packed scenes with the plot always moving forward. The ending tied up everything perfectly and I'm very happy with this as a complete series!
