3.0

This was such a let down from how much I enjoyed the rest of the series. The majority of the book is Mare being trapped in a room and just wallowing about it, which was incredibly boring. 
I didn’t think her torture was as dramatic as it should’ve been. 
The twist towards the middle and end was interesting but it needed more. As it stands, this book did not need to be 500 pages.
Also wtf was that weird bathroom scene

This one is soooo much better than the Glass Sword. It is crazy of the development of all the characters. It started off really slow but after that it got a lot better and the different pov’s made the story of all the characters a lot better.

Not the best but better than book 2. It picked up the pace but the main character was still annoying and hard to root for. The villain and side characters carried.
