I enjoyed reading this book, you get a little more action and more Rowan. Which more Rowan’s always appreciated. And I am now fully in love with Lysandra’s arc.

Why is Sam, the character I’m not going to meet again in this series, the most lovable character of them all?

So I actually liked this book a lot. Seeing a lot of reviews online they always had this book and the next as like boring or really slow BUT I liked it. I liked getting to know Caelaena because this series is 7 books long, you have to make a connection with the character and this book was a good bet to do that.

We come back to Deka and her friends after she discovers the truth about the Gilded Ones and the Idugu.
That’s what I remembered about the cliffhanger of the second book and then started reading this one and was seriously confused the first 20% of the book. 

The whole book felt like the author was trying to build up the end however it was possible and her answer was to add a bunch of more gods. But in the end it, the outcome was way too amorphous. The description was just trying to imbue eternity into every line by listing all everything that sounded nature-like. 

I still have a couple of loveable character that I’ll take from this book which are Britta, her accent, and how she’s completely herself no matter judgement & Ixa, just because he’s cute.

Thank you to Random House Children for the ARC!
