Lost so much sleep reading this series, again couldnt put it down. Once again, I was so enthralled in this whole story. I loved all the characters, even the ones I hated half the time. I found myself conflicted between loving and disliking characters all at once. I very much enjoyed every moment of this tale and being in this world. Holly Black has made a huge fan of me with this series.

GODDDDDDD this book was glorious, perfect, no notes, i’m obsessed with this entire series, it jumped so quickly to #2 spot in my favorite series! this book especially was so emotional and gripping and because of jude’s gray morality, it was hard to predict how she was going to solve problems but she slayed (literally) as always! the tension, the character development, the action, the twists, every single plot moment was perfect and i’m SO sad this series is over now! i haven’t read a series this fast since the grishaverse. obsessed obsessed.

Unfortunately a slightly lackluster ending to this series. I just felt like there wasn't quite enough plot things going on - too much of a continuation of Maddoc just being annoying without it staying interesting. Also, I didn't understand why we should be so quick to forgive Taryn? Sure I guess she married an asshole (that's on her!), but did she really earn Jude's forgiveness? Imo no!

The ending curse twist was interesting I guess but also easily resolved. Idk I guess I just expected to have a little more devastation in this series in general?

A friend send me Cardan's letters and WHY were those not included in every edition?! Gods that was the best part and it wasn't even included!

About the graphic warnings

As always, Jude gets in a fair amount of trouble and gets hurt, there's vivid description of her injuries as well as her taking out the stitches. Other characters as well. A head of a huge animal gets chopped off and there's lots of blood. A child is being held in a magical bridle that sinks into their skin, clearly abused by their parents.

You probably know what the moderate one is about

Waiting for this one after I finished the last one was so hard, but this was a solid and fast read. I didn't want to put it down and do my normal life things.
