hurricanyounot's review against another edition

adventurous dark emotional tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

If magic is what you were looking for in this series, this is the book you were waiting for! At last, we get to see a character with true magic and how she struggles with it. An excellent way to "end" the series (there are 6 books in the series, but you could just read the first 3 and be fine). Stakes even higher than before. Loose ends are finally tied up. Old characters make a return. Secrets and twists are everywhere. The DRAMA. The TEA. Piping hot. Juliet Marillier ate and left no crumbs.
