This book was probably my favorite in the series. I felt that the characters really came into themselves especially Cal and Evangeline. I was a bit disssapointed in Julian. He was so sketchy in this book and I felt that I couldn’t really trust him after he started hanging with Cals grandmother. 

All the scheming done by the 4 legions/nations was very entertaining. I enjoyed how the war found its resolution and how John, Mare, and Cal played such pivotal roles in the disenstablishment of their monoarchy. 

I feel that the series as a whole was a solid 3 stars. I was interged and entertained but I was never invested and engrossed with the novels. Part of the reason might be because I’m not as into dystopian fiction as I used to be. Sometimes it’s just too close to our current reality and my mental health is not here for it.
