This books is where we really start to see the crossover of the stories start to take pace.
We follow Orjan, who was introduced in briefly in the first book and we got to know in the second book, and Morgana who was introduced in the first book.

The two make for an interesting dual POV which continues to get more complicated as the story progresses, in my opinion. This is mainly due to Morgana as she has visions of the future, whether these are to come to fruition or not is yet to be seen.
I think overall the story does most of the development with Orjan and leaves Morgana to just be who she, is which is upsetting as you can tell towards the end they can to make her a sympathetic villain but it instead feels like it comes out of no where. I think they could have developed her more so what we know that is to come will be more impactful.

By the end of the book I was really interested to see how everything was going to play out in the future considering the standing that everyone is left on. I think book 3 has been the best book so far in building up the wider connections and really showing where the over arching plot is going and you can see how everything is being laid out.

P.S. If like me you couldn't tell what the retelling was it is St George and The Dragon .
