Huge thank you to Berkley Publishing Group | Ace for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

I’m going to start out by saying that even if Mark Lawrence plagiarized Biscuit Goes to the Farm, I would still buy and read it. (In truth, I’ve preordered my copy of The Book That Held Her Heart already.) That being said, I’m absolutely over the moon to read this early and plan on sharing my honest opinions of the third and final book. 

First things first, if you’ve been sleeping on the quotes that start every chapter in this trilogy, shame on you. Go back, read them, and try not to giggle. Lawrence really pulled out the stops in this one, though. They are on a whole other level. (Including the stones to quote his own works, I do love an author with some swagger!) 

You can feel yourself hurdling through the story portals to the end. Even in the chaos, small moments of joy and laughter are beautiful here. You see the threads being pulled closed, weaving their stories together, converging on significant points through the portals. In that last leg, we get to the inflection point, the climax of the library’s/Livira’s book. 

No. Nonononononononono. Not… No. please no. 

The end is beautiful. It’s perfect. And I did not have enough tissues at the ready. Damn you, Mark Lawrence. I can’t think of a better ending than this.
