I really, really wanted to like this because I enjoyed the first two books in this trilogy. However, the more progress I made in this book, the more I realized that I just didn't care anymore. I think this would have been better as a duology because this book just felt like one long soap opera going back and forth between two points of view. 

I absolutely love this series, and this installment did not disappoint. The characters were fun, and I love that we get more development with each book as well as a continuing character arc. The mystery was well paced, and I enjoyed trying to solve it. I cannot wait for the next book! 

This was a great conclusion to a fantastic trilogy. I love all the rep in this book and how naturally it fits into the world. It was nice revisiting some of my favorite characters and seeing how their plot arcs turned out. My one criticism is that this book felt a bit too long, which is odd for a Cassandra Clare book because they are so fast paced. 

This was such a cute, charming book! I love the relationship between Guinevere and Delysia, and I adored Guinevere's character arc! I will definitely reread this one. 

I am so happy with the conclusion to this trilogy. It has an ending that was earned. The character work and world building is fantastic, and the plot twists had me on the edge of my seat. This trilogy has definitely secured Robin Hobb a spot on my list of favorite authors. 

Reread: Even better the second time! 

This was a stunning debut novel. I love how the author explored the messiness of relationships and the nuances of war and colonization. Luca and Tourine were excellent protagonists, and their character dynamics were fantastic. I am so excited for book 2!

I absolutely adored this new installment in the Cider Shop Mysteries! I loved the development of Colton's and Winnie's relationship, and I enjoyed seeing my favorite characters again. The mystery was fun, and the stakes were really high in this one. I was on the edge of my seat. I highly recommend!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an eARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
