I definitely found myself really getting into it once it got into the second act. The third act was a lot more reflective, but that made sense for the novel narratively. But I think the lowness at the beginning is why I'm not giving it a higher rating. It did take a while to get into and I felt like at least 100-150 pages could have been trimmed. I think Cashore was trying to build Hava's perspective but i think the rest of the novel did that well ao much could have been removed. I do appreciate Hava's perspective, it's someone who was on the outskirts, which made me way more interested in her perspective.
I also really appreciated the romance. It wasn't over the top like some other books I've been reading recently. Instead it was really the slow build, as these two people are healing themselves and want to be together as they heal with one another. It felt so honest to the story and truly lovely.
I would definitely recommend this last book in the series (so far)!

I absolutely hated the loss of
I found Hope delightful and enjoyed how much she really provided to the people on this journey the essence of her name.
This is certainly not going to be a book for everyone, a lot of it could be considered boring (it wasn't to me but if I see complaints I would understand why they were made) but I LOVED IT.
