yaay I'm done.

I don't feel like writing a proper review. This book was better than the second one in terms of pacing. It grips you right away and was pretty fast-paced and made for a quick read.

We still have the lovely healing magic and a scene where Halassa heals one of the priestesses who has a broken back and can't walk.

We also find out that Halassa and Calwyn are siblings, which is hilarious because Calwyn was just wondering in the last book if she should sleep with Halassa and have his kids dsjfdsklfj. Incest seems to be a thing here because we also have Samis and Keela who are kind of a couple but are also half-siblings??? This book is honestly so weird.

One thing I hated was that we got a Keela redemption, even though she did not deserve it in the least and I think if she had died and Mica had lived, everyone would have been much happier.

Also, as is typical in older fantasy, everyone is coupled off in the end. Tonno is somehow in love with Keela which is just so weird for me. We have Darrow and Calwyn of course, and apparently Trout was in love with Mica but since she's dead he's just Sad. 

Also, there's this lovely line where Briaali tells Calwyn her magic is strong now, but it'll get stronger once she isn't a virgin and has had sex with Darrow sjdfks. Though I guess the only good thing is that she'll be super strong when she's an old lady.

Calwyn still annoys me. She's rude and thoughtless sometimes. And I wish she could have made up with Mica at the end there. Also, why she and Darrow are a thing, I don't know. Also what happened between her and Samis is still a mystery and I'm very much Confusion.

Overall, this series did not live up to my expectations. I'm not shocked though since it's an older fantasy series, so I was expecting it to be somewhat problematic. That being said, the world itself, the lore and history, and the magic system is very unique from anything I've read. I am glad I eventually read this though.
