Finally, the long-awaited conclusion to the Plated Prisoner series. I've been hooked since book one Gild and we've had our ups and downs as depending on the book and the reread. There's no part of me that ever wants to reread this conclusion though. It was disappointing, not delivering on some anticipated setups from the last book, adding flourishes in that made moments in last books felt like cute and unique characterization into proof these people are powerful and destined. 

It took that quirky irreverence and inserted it into situation and characters that hadn't acted that way originally. Which made those characters feel out of character and made out main characters feel less like unique voices and more like an echo in a crowd.

The series as a whole had done so well dealing with trauma and healing but this book does NOT stick the landing.
