I would recommend reading the first two book first (obviously) to understand this book but I thoroughly enjoyed the writing, the character devolvement and the revel of traitors and the exciting but very welcomed twist and turns that were around every corner. I loved this book to bits and I would have given it 5 stars, but it just took me a while to fully get into it, but I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who will listen to me talk about it.

I do wish we could have seen more from Cardan through this story though. Holly Black could write a whole book about just him interacting with Jude and her family and I’d read it at least twice.
And Jude, I want to be like Jude. Usually you imagine yourself as the main character so you can fall in love with the dashing male protagonist but I’d actually want to be her because she is so cool and brave and strong and cunning. 🗡🐍
