This volume finally has some action! Emotional turmoil happens, but so do things! Actual plot-type things!
In my head, the first three books in this series have bled together into one big set up for Dark Magick (helped partly by the fact that I saw the big "twist" coming from the beginning). Unfortunately, while we finally learn who's evil in this book we get to wait even longer to find out about motives.
This should all have been one book, seriously.

I read this book series as a teenager and it keeps you engaged the whole time. It always ends on a cliffhanger which is why I’m glad it’s 2023 and I can just keep rolling through them. If you do stack them, it can get a bit repetitious. I am impressed by its ability to describe queer love as just a part of normal life— not a main plot point but a component none these less. I’m so appreciative of it doing so in its time but hate that I am impressed by it? Which is a personal problem I suppose. I’m looking forward to the next book.

Morgan’s relationship with Cal comes to a head in the fourth book in the series. I am enjoying the series, although I still don’t like how the books just stop.

This book had so much happening! so many revelations and action! So much more intense than I remember. Can’t say more or else I’ll spoil it but !!!! Best part so far
I especially loved the Dutch translation in this one, some parts were quite beautiful.
