I loved this book and love the series! I’m so excited for the next one to come out. The ending of this one (not a spoiler) is just a bit underwhelming and doesn’t quite do it for me. I hope the final book will wrap it up better.

So this was super predictable in many fantasy-reads ways. But it was also testy and turns and satisfying too?? 

I definitely got annoyed at the beginning, in the middle and huffy when I got to the end. But that didn’t mean I didn’t think it was worth it. 

The feels are all there, the writing is great, and I was entertained. It was satisfying to read a trophy fantasy book that was well written. 

I’d recommend it, but don’t expect ground breaking new fantasy territory.
