I am now, unfortunately, in love with this world and its characters. I know there are 2 companion novels for me to enjoy, but I will mourn Jude & Cardan's exit from my life, haha.

Plot was great, characters are always surprising yet consistent to their own. I'm honestly not sure what to say about this last installment except that it was perfection.

I don't factor audiobook narration into the overall star rating, but I give Caitlin Kelly 4.5/5⭐. She falls flat at times but is, overall, a good enough performer.
