5.0
I've officially read books 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 and 3—and book 3 (The Reckoning) is the first 5 star I've given. I am INVESTED.
The Reckoning is overall a fantastic turning point in this series. Holy hell, SO MUCH HAPPENED. I wasn't bored for a single second while reading this book. You'd think the sheer number of POVs would be overwhelming but simultaneously reading it on my Kindle and listening to it on audiobook has helped a lot with my speed and retention.
This book evoked every emotion from me, and the ending?! Excuse me. I have a bad feeling the Twisted Sisters are going to destroy me in the last 30 minutes within all of these books moving forward.
At this point, I'm attached to the characters but some are so wishy washy *cough the heirs cough* that I'm not sure when they'll grow on me.
