This was a really fitting conclusion to this series. I loved getting to see more fates and how they interacted with the main characters and each other. I want to much more lore about the fates! The stakes were high and plans failed along the way, which was very stressful. I felt like the two love triangles got kind of old though, and this book spends more time on the romances than the other two books, which wasn’t my favorite. Lots of good twists and turns though, and it left me wanting more!

I enjoyed this book but not as much as the first one. The sisters are still as careless and naive as they were in book one and that seems ridiculous given everything they’ve been through. Their plans for beating the bad guys just seemed silly and  super unrealistic. It was a fun read but I’m glad to be done with the world now.
