This finale had everything I wanted, and 200 pages I didn’t need.

I loooove these characters. The strong friendship and found family through war is powerful and I couldn’t get enough of the continual support offered over and over as things only became more dire.

The romance between Max and Tisaanah melts me too. I thought the steam in this felt a bit random (like, gotta throw it in here because this is the only chance!). There relationship though was sweet. And intense and I love the partnership they formed over the course of this series.

This was filled with beautiful writing and many lovely sentiments about life, love and more. I really liked the ending and thought it worked out well for all parties. Everyone got the deserved ending and I looove a epilogue at the end. There’s plenty of action and politicking mixed in with the world building and magic system.

I look forward to Broadbent’s next book!
