This book was by far the best in the series. I could NOT put it down it was so engaging and had so many twist and turns that kept it exciting and interesting. The characters somehow become even more developed and lovable. The world building also grows so much more (something I didn’t think possible). It’s so deeply human and relatable despite being fantasy. Each character has something you find likable even if they are the bad guy. Even the hero’s are not perfect it’s so deep and incredible. I was crying my eyes out for the last 30 pages of the book it was just that good.
