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.

Lost so much sleep reading this series, again couldnt put it down. Once again, I was so enthralled in this whole story. I loved all the characters, even the ones I hated half the time. I found myself conflicted between loving and disliking characters all at once. I very much enjoyed every moment of this tale and being in this world. Holly Black has made a huge fan of me with this series.

This series was an absolute joy to read. I never thought I would love fantasy politics as much as I have through these books. I do wish there was a tad more substance to Jude and Carden's romance, but overall the entire series was interesting and didn't leave me once wanting to put it down.
