Unnecessarily long. The issues of the other books become magnified in this one.

Not as good as the other two in the series. Found it boring and didn't even finish the whole thing.

Look, is it the most well-written book? No. Am I invested in the story? Yes. Enough to keep reading the series!

I felt that this book was rushed and tried to tie up all the loose ties too quickly. I still enjoy Denorah Harknesses way of telling an exciting story while getting in a lot of leasure time.

I love the way this ties things up in a pretty bow. But still leaves room for more stories. I love Matthew and Diana and the rest of the characters. I hope we get to learn more about Jack.
