This first two books of the series have NOTHING on this one, good lord! This one is much more action packed, there's many twisting aspects to the plot, and it's good! And there is just as much romance with less graphic sexual content, which is a criticism I had of the second book (just as a matter of personal preference). I already know this is a series I'm gonna come back to, even with two books left to read.

I truthfully loved this book just as much as mist and fury. They do feel very different reading. This book is action packed and brimmed with love. Tamlin felt like watching a tennis match with how much he was swinging in his decentness. Absolutely love Mor and her story explored more in this book. I was surprised with how heavy there seemed to be focusing on Nesta and Cassian, but I didn’t mind it either. This book completely took me along the ride with emotions. I was vengeful with them, sad with them, scared with them, and unbelievably happy with them.
