If the miscommunication trope hadn’t been milked for half the book it would’ve been a knock out. But once that was sorted out things were epic! I’m sad to see the series go and enjoyed it immensely.

A perfect conclusion for this series. A whirlwind of emotions as per usual but a great, entertaining read nonetheless.

This was a great finale! I laughed, cried, was stressed. The poor Merry Thieves were put through so much in this series! I do think that parts near the beginning could have been trimmed or cut out - this book dragged through the beginning and was longer than it needed to be. But I did enjoy as we got farther into the book and the ending was brilliant.

"I rather think love is something like a book written just for us, a sort of holy text it is given to us to interpret."

3 ⭐️

I’m sad. I feel underwhelmed and the second half of the book felt like a slog to get through. Was it a joy to be reunited with the characters? Yes. But it all felt a little repetitive and like reworked from her other books with maybe an added little bit. I felt no emotion to the event that I was expecting to lose my shit over. I also don’t think that particularly part was written well, it could’ve been so hard hitting but fell behind in everything else going on. Like the characters acted out of character by the event.

I will say that I was glad that the characters got closure at the end of the series, I just wish we had a better finale to the series. If the rest of the book was as fast paced as the first third with more layers to it, I think I would’ve loved it more.

Matthew Fairchild is King though, the babe deserves the world.

Absolutely everything I wanted from the conclusion of this trilogy. If I had to quibble, the resolution was ever-so-slightly predictable, but the writing was absolutely beautiful and the characters were, once again, top notch. I was captivated the whole way through, and honestly would live in this world for a million more pages if I could! Bonus, the extra story in the first edition hardcover made me ugly cry.
