This series was quite the ride! It was a solid fantasy series with enough intricacy for fantasy lovers but not over the top either, so it isn’t confusing if you’re just starting fantasy. 

Initially I didn’t realize this was part of a series, and I’m glad I realized it before starting this because I would have been completely lost! This is definitely not a stand alone and should be read with the others to fully understand what’s happening. 

I received an audiobook copy of this one through NetGalley and it was great. The narration is fantastic and really brings these characters to life. The emotions are there and I absolutely loved it. 

This was my least favorite of the three, but I still recommend it. 3.5 rounded up.
