Of Noble Family by Mary Robinette Kowal

5.0

I decided to reread the entire series before finally reading Of Noble Family. I'm glad I did because it made ONF that much better as I was heavily invested in Jane and Vincent by the time I started it. I adore them both and am so sad the series is done. When I finished ONF, I felt rather bereft. Kowak does a fantastic job with her research and portrayal of slave culture in Antigua while at the same time keeping the stakes high and personal. I'll fully admit I cried for most of the end of this book. I loved that we get more insight into Vincent's past and even two (three?) chapters from Vincent's POV, which was a real treat.
All in all, it was exceptionally well done and great way to end the series though truthfully, I wish I wasn't done.
