[5 Stars] This book was so fantastic. It may actually be my favorite in the series so far! I loved seeing Quint go through the Knights Academy, and I particularly loved the action packed ending. I also really liked Quint's overall character development, though I wish we could have seen more of Maris. If you love unique, quirky, darker middle grade fantasy books then this series is certainly for you. I cannot wait to read the final book in this trilogy. Also, I just wanted to say that the epilogue of this book where you find out the back story for one of the characters in the Twig trilogy was so intriguing!
