Labyrinth's Heart was a great finale to The Rook and Rose trilogy. I'm very sad to be leaving these characters now. So... Labyrinth's Heart...
the good of it
- the character interactions and relationships as always were fabulous. This series seriously has some of my favorite found family! The characters made me feel things!
- the twist was well done and I'm impressed with how the authors made it make sense in context of the previous books and laid clues without giving it away
- everything coming together was very satisfying and as in the last point, speaks to the plotting of the series overall

the ill of it
- the first half was a bit draggy, but once the second half kicked it it didn't let up

and that which is neither:
- the ending was slightly convenient, but also just what I wanted out of it, so your mileage may vary
- some of our favorite side characters were slightly neglected, but I honestly didn't really notice cause I was immersed in the main story.

Overall I highly recommend Rook and Rose and can't wait for more people to read it!

Thanks to Orbit and Netgalley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review!

I also listened to the audio narrated by Nikki Massoud, who is fantastic at bringing the characters to life!
