Okay where to begin.

First of, it was an enjoyable read. The tensions ran high, the characters got a little more developed and Cardan definitely grew on me as a person. The world building is also still very enjoyable and interesting.

That aside, the plot was a bit of a letdown. Everything built up to this possible High stakes war only for Cardan to ✨ magically magic ✨ the threats away after all of Jude's back and forth going, scheming and suffering.

Reading the ending definitely frustrated me a fair bit.

I am curious to see how the final book will go and what I can expect from it
