To be honest, the book is ass. A few years ago I almost rated it 5 stars but that was just my love for Jurdan and the fairies speaking.

Nothing much happens, and whatever does is too convenient. The writing is so repetitive. Jude is passive and uninteresting, Cardan is absent for most of the novel. Actually, Jude is straight up dumb in this one. Frustrating how she couldn't solve the simplest riddles living in this world for so long (and it happens 3(!) times). 

I don't know, whatever, it exists. Not much to say.

What an ending! Trilogies don't often get better by the end, but this series just had development after development and I loved it. One of my main enjoyments was surprisigly THE ROMANCE, the enemies to lovers trope was done right for once (with enough hatred, plotting and general enemy-ness overall during the series). I don't really have any complaints apart from CARDAN'S TAIL,,,, why. Just why???

Spoiler

The tail ruined all the sexy scenes for me but after Cardan turned into the serpent I would have done anything to revert him back to original :'')

A good book, better than the first but not as good as a second. This book is certainly the 'ending' and it does a good job at tying together the loose ends, and to begin a healing process for many. There wasn't as much of trickery and such, but there was still a lot of good. Unlike the 2nd book where it felt like we were constantly trying to stay one step ahead, this one feels a lot simpler. In some ways I can see why some say it is a disappointment, but for me it comes welcomely. It is a good ending, and I enjoyed it.
