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.
