The middle of this one definitely lost me a little bit - the magic just wasn't magicking. BUT, the ending was amazing.
I did think that the exploration of Cora as a 'fat' person was both heavy handed and very surface level. Even Nadya, who only gets a few paragraphs about her disability, seems to have been written a lot better.
Having said this, I've still really adored this series so far. In this book I especially enjoyed getting more background on how the doors work. And, of course, I just can't get enough of Kade.
(Side note, this is my 100th book of the year (2023)! Absolutely wild that I've read so much this year.)
