Addictive! It's great when all three books of a series are equally addictive. (PS: Romanticized abuse in the series). A satisfying third book. I didn't really care how the leads ended up, because I didn't ship them in the first place. I found them to be great characters on their own. I am frustrated that Madoc got away with such an (unbelievable) ending. 
4.5 stars
