Next please!!! 

A couple of the twists and turns have gotten a little confusing to me but I’m still hooked and just powering through to see what happens in the last book. I <3 that

Ophelia and Thorn have ended up reconciled, that was stressful!!

cataloguekitty's review against another edition

1.0

This book was disappointing. Using the r-word is inexcusable. I know this text was translated, but that just shows how lazy and lack of awareness the  translator and everyone that approved the copy was. There is other outdated and ableist vocabulary used throughout. 

Now, in relation to the series, it was a major let down following book 2. The world seems to have gotten to big, we no longer have multi dimensional side characters and although the stakes are seemingly higher, we don’t feel it. 

Stop at book 2 if you were on the fence about continuing the series at all.
