A review by daffz
Of Noble Family by Mary Robinette Kowal
4.0
This book was a really good ending to the series, and a really good book on its own. I enjoyed it a lot, and feel like this series has largely gotten better as it went on. I do think the first book was better than the second, but the rest has steadily increased in quality.
What I really enjoyed about this book is that the author didn't shy away from exploring the atrocities that happened in this time and instead made it part of the plot. I was very invested in the story at Antigua, and enjoyed seeing a non-western setting for this book. Jane and Vincent were both great in this story, and their relationship was tested once again. I feel like all the conflicts worked very well, and none of it felt forced. I enjoyed the moments in this book where they were confronted with their own privilege and learned and grew in their new surroundings.
All in all, I think this was a great ending to the series. I'm a little sad to leave it behind now. It's different from anything else I have read, but it has been a very enjoyable experience.
