There are books or series that I've read that I couldn't stop thinking about long after I've finished them.  And there are books or series that I've read that I enjoy in the moment but once I finish them, I kind of forget everything that's happened and I feel like this series fits more into that category.  I finished this book a few hours ago and I kind of already forgot what happened but I could tell you that I enjoyed it.  I feel like I've enjoyed every book in this series so far but in all honesty, it's not the most memorable fantasy series.  I think it's pretty good and I don't have any major complaints about it while reading it, I think it just doesn't feel like anything special.  I like the characters, I like the romance, I like the plot, but I don't feel like a love anything I'd that makes sense.  I want to finish the series to read how everything all plays out but I don't see myself picking up this series again to reread it.  I like it but I don't love it and while I thought that the books were getting better and better between book one and book three, I'm not sure that I would say this one is better than the third one.  Again, it was a good read just not my favorite.

2.5 - I enjoyed the first couple books in this series. The third one slowed down a bit for me, but was still good. Unfortunately this one took it one step further. There’s a lot of slow politicking and could have been a couple hundred pages shorter. I was bored enough in the middle that I would have DNF’d if I wasn’t already invested enough to want to know the end result of this series.
I like the overall story, the magic systems and politics but I wish we had more perspective from the side characters - there’s some great opportunity to explore their stories further but we never really get it. We’re stuck primarily with the views of the FMC, and I’m
fed up with her.

 I liked this book but not as much as the others. In some part I wouldn't say I liked Cas, because I didn't understand her motivation and I think she was a little too selfish. Nonetheless, I will start the next one ASAP because the ending was crazyyyy.
