3.5
3.5 stars for this book and for the whole series
I found this book as well as the whole series was more world building orientated then character development. with so many characters and perspectives it showed vast aspects of the world, but i never really fell in love with any specific character. I loved the world, the magic and the plot was taken directly out of our own history but given a fairy/witch take, but i found i wanted more.
the book/series is under Fantasy romance , and yes there is some romance but very minor on the side. (there was so many normal girl meets boy romance throughout the series that i wished for just one queer romance , like there this one friendship that if it became a lesbian romance i would have given this book a 5 stars, but unfortunately that romance will have to only exist in my dreams).
Overall, as always I enjoyed Anne Bishops writing style, I didn't like how some of the battle scene were written , but overall it was easy to read and enjoyable.
This book completed the series and the ending was decent but definitely I think could have been improved, but I was still happy at the end.
