I received an advance review copy of this book through Netgalley. This does not affect my rating or opinions.

This was really different from the previous books, but I really liked it! In fact, I didn't want to put this down, because there were no good "stopping points" / lulls. The dual perspective between the sisters was a great opportunity to see how they each grew and made sure both got satisfying closure by the end, and normally I'm not a fan of love triangles, so I was pleasantly shocked to find myself deeply invested in all the romantic drama - all the buildup over the trilogy paying off. And I often feel unsatisfied by the Big Bad Battle in a series finale, but this one was so exciting and such a joy to read.

In short, this book just obliterated my expectations in the most delightful way.
