Devoured and was obsessed with the first two. I still think about THAT scene in the blood forest. But this one just dragged on and on. JLA could’ve cut a good 15% of the book out by removing unnecessary descriptions, repetitions, weird uses of ellipses etc.

And if I ever see “pimpled my skin” as a way to describe goosebumps again, I’ll lose my mind. Once or twice sure, but I lost count.

Also, I see why she left it on a cliffhanger - clearly the fourth book will be the war- but as usual nothing was resolved and it felt cheap and irritating to me. Again, once is one thing, but she keeps leaving endings on a cliffhanger and instead of making me eager for more, I’m irritated.

That said I’ll be reading the next book lol.
