I was very close to not finishing this book. The dialogue got very redundant and there was way too much spice considering they needed to save their kingdom from the Thief of Souls. Was well written spice but just too much and not exactly at the best times. Also, Callie took a frustratingly long time to figure out the mystery (seemed fairly predictable to me). That said, the ending of the book made up for the slow and repetitive build up at the beginning of the book. I thought things were tied nicely together and enjoyed the plot twists (even though I had several of them figured out). Des was my favorite part of the series but I do respect that Callie did finally embrace who she was and turned full-on badass. I struggle with the injected cheesy dialogue from her and Temper. It’s just ill-fitting and immature, it does nothing to tie in with or progress the plot line. The Thief of Souls was a phenomenal villain, genuinely made me feel uncomfortable but his defeat was a bit anti-climactic. This series was solid but I wouldn’t go back and re-read.
