This was by far my favorite of the three. I laughed and cried and couldn’t put it down or stop thinking about it. If you were ever debating whether to keep reading, keep going just for this one.
Some of the things I could predict, but it didn’t detract from the story. Finally seeing more of the pieces come together made it worth it.
I think one of my favorite things so far about this world of magic is how it was written. I love her fantastic way of writing it from the perspective of the characters who have not sometimes realized what magic is happening, such as with compulsion, and so the reader is not privy to it either. I absolutely loved that aspect and I think a reread would prove incredibly insightful!
