Lots still left to resolve but enjoyable. Could’ve been MUCH shorter. Hoping everything is tied up in the next book. Overall…. Not sure if I’d recommend the series to a friend. It dragged on.

I really enjoyed the complexity of Maven’s character.

too much was happening. and words could not describe how little i cared about the other POV's... like why start a book series as one POV, then add new ones, but so inconsistently and at such random times that it actually adds nothing to the plot or character development?

5.0

One of my favourite book series - had me laughing and crying through the whole series. Would recommend to anyone who likes fantasy mixed with a form of plutocracy (the rich rule over the poor). Amazing conclusion - would read the full series again I loved it that much!
