5.0

I was enjoying this series a lot, but this third book really sold it for me. So many trilogies lose me when they leave their pre-established world (leaving the scholomance to be in the real world in this case), but this book knew what it was doing and stuck the landing beautifully. Maybe a bit contrived how things work out, but the emotional beats worked for me and I was full of feelings at the end.
