I am now, unfortunately, in love with this world and its characters. I know there are 2 companion novels for me to enjoy, but I will mourn Jude & Cardan's exit from my life, haha.

Plot was great, characters are always surprising yet consistent to their own. I'm honestly not sure what to say about this last installment except that it was perfection.

I don't factor audiobook narration into the overall star rating, but I give Caitlin Kelly 4.5/5⭐. She falls flat at times but is, overall, a good enough performer.

ich fand das buch so toll, ich hab keine worte dafür. vom moment, als ich es in die hand genommen hab bis zur allerletzten seite, konnte ich es nicht mehr weg legen. ich hab geweint, gelacht, war schockiert und verwirrt und wollte nicht, dass es endet - gleichzeitig wollte ich aber auch unbedingt wissen, wie alles ausgeht? kurz gesagt: es war ganz genau das high fantasy buch, das ich mir seit monaten gewünscht habe 😭

verglichen mit den teilen davor, war es wirklich so fast paced und noch tausendmal spannender!! die welt ist SO TOLL, die vibes sind unfassbar; man wurde beim lesen richtig reingezogen und es war so toll.

jude my queen 😭 i loved her so much! i dont know if i want to be her or if i want to be with her… my girl ist aber vor allem queen of overthinking; manche leute sind einfach nett und mögen sie und sie schiebt psychose, dass alles ein geheimer plan gegen sie ist?? calm down 

dass sie neben allen bedrohungen gefühlt cardan als ihren größten erzfeind sieht, war so lustig für mich 😂 this boy was so scared of her 😭 er hat 3 bücher lang versucht, sich diese baddie zu klären und es einfach nicht geschafft (weil er maximal lost war) und als es am ende endlich geklappt hat, war er so proud (zurecht)

ich muss in dieser review my man madoc ansprechen; he was the worst dad ever but why was he so hot 😭 habe lowkey für ihn gerootet die ganze zeit, he was so evil but i was into it irgendwie ;
war auch bisschen sad über sein ende, all my man wanted was meaningless blootshed and honestly i can understand 💔


das ende war perfekt, habe nix auszusetzen; niemals hätte ich gedacht, dass ich eine ganze reihe über faerie politics, intrigen und machtspiele so wegatmen würde, aber es ist passiert und ich würde es nicht anders wollen, LOVED IT

Wow, I’m speechless. 
At first I thought: how unhinged can  the plot become and the author must have thought: Yes! Please!

I really liked the conclusion and the ending. It all makes sense now and I was reading frequently whilst weeping. But I’m also a little cry baby 😅

10/10 would recommend! The whole series was a banger and I was not disappointed. 
Everyone who loves fantasy and a little romance (not that spicy) and would love to read about the land of Faerie: Just do it! 🧚🏻‍♂️

the author explains things we already know (if we read the rest of the series) in the beginning of each book which kind of irks me, but i liked this one better than the first two!
