Every time I thought things would be getting better they *kept* getting worst. Y'all. I need a palate cleanser for like 2-3 books until I can throw myself into The Demon Tide. It wasn't because it was bad, it was just stressor and emotions the entire time and as the audiobook is basically 20 hours, it was just a LOT. 😂.
There is multiple POVs because basically the entire gang is far apart. It was interesting to see what was happening with everyone (though I didn't hear from the lupins... I wonder what's going on with that).
Anyways, read it.

This series is not afraid to shy away from it's characters dealing with difficult subject matter, and The Shadow Wand is no exception to that. Things do not simply happen to these characters, they are not passively accepting the events of their narrative, rather they are critically thinking about the events of their story and emotionally unpacking them on the page, which can only help serve to deepen our connection to a character as readers.
Fair warning to anyone with an aversion to love triangles - this series is likely not for you. Since this is the third installment we are well into the romantic plotlines, but Forest does not make any predictable choices and the only thing that I can be certain of is that I cannot be certain of anything when it comes to Elloren, Yvan and Lukas. As far as my personal opinions, i thought I had made my mind up, and then I had a lot of opinions changed by the events of this novel, only the be left feeling confused, frustrated and grief stricken by the end.
