I did however enjoy the multiple povs to get a break from constant Mare and an insight into other characters.
In general I feel like this book could’ve told the same story in a lot less pages so I’m slightly worried for War Storm bc imo as these books get bulkier the pace slows down.
Overall I still enjoyed this book, still gonna finish the series (at some point) , just didn’t enjoy it that much compared to the first books. I have hopes it’ll pick up again tho.
I still recommend this series to people who are into dystopian ya fantasy politics all that stuff.
A lot of gore, murder and mentions of trauma/ptsd tho so don’t read if you’re sensitive to that 👍

“In spite of myself, I feel the familiar longing for a boy who does not exist.”
“How many times does one wicked boy have to betray you people before you learn?”

As the third installment of the Red Queen series, we finally discover the reason why Maven is the way he is (cool motive, still murder) and we get to see just how resourceful Mare Barrow is. We also see get a look into what Evangeline Samos really thinks.
Despite how absolutely morbid it is, I think this is my favorite book in the Red Queen series
