i am very pleased with how this wrapped up, when it comes to this series, it was very pleasing to see what Noone can do in a longer story; the relationship felt less rushed compared to others in the series. apprentice's luck remains my favorite, but it was really cool to read more about lore and the setting in this one was mervelous as in the other stories, i love how noone describes settings.

all in all, this was a great pick me up after a rough day.

there were some scenes in this that were very very romantic in a way i haven’t read in the longest time and i Did Not See That Coming. author writes beautifully without purple prose, which is a breath of fresh air. the world building managed to catch my interest without committing the mortal sin of Too Many Details.

this book almost failed to hold my interest, though. i was hoping for something more fast paced and perhaps more intense, but this was still a fun read. will check the following books in the series.
