War

The strength of each of the characters really allowed this story to maintain a great pace. Each character has an arc and purpose other than just moving the main couple forward, which makes them amazing characters. 

The end battle wasn’t as well flushed out as I would have liked. I wanted MORE.

The main relationship was very realistic in that they didn’t agree in everything. They were two strong personalities and it showed up on the page, making me appreciate their relationship even more, because they loved each other through everything and showed that relationships take work, compromise and a deep love and understanding.

Overall, this has been an amazing read. One of my favorite YA fantasy series, hands down.
