The end of an era. I absolutely love the complexity of Oak’s character. My only real complaint is the pacing—there was plenty of buildup, but some parts felt almost rushed.

Almost a 5-star read!! I loved the scheming, the plot, and the character development. I’m not ready to finish this series but I’m excited to stay on the edge of my seat for whatever comes next—and all future meltdowns.

Every minor flaw I noticed in the last book is completely fixed in this one—the 5 star rating speaks for itself. Cardan Greenbriar, I never thought I’d like you this much, nor did I expect to enjoy this series as much as I do.
