3.5 stars.
Repetitive and slow in a lot of parts. I had to reread a lot of passages as they were very confusing, a lot of new players and prophesies and …. It was a lot in this book so it’s my least favorite of the series.
The relationship with Kieran, Poppy and Casteel though, that saved it for me though.
The joining was my favorite part, and was so tastefully done, I loved it.
I will likely read the next one, but I’m not as excited about this series anymore which I a bummer!
