i was originally gonna give this just three stars, but the ending really got to me. turns out i related way more to the mc than i originally thought.

idk why they changed narrator between books, but i prefer the person who read the first two books. 🤷‍♀️

i ended up purposely skipping over parts cause i simply wanted to finish it. that's not to say this isn't a good story. for the most part i was curious to see what would happen.  i just think i started it at the wrong time, and maybe sometime in the future, i'll revisit it.

not only is this a new favourite read, but this is potentially a new favourite author in the works.  i loved everything about this - the characters, the fantasy, the swashbuckling adventure - it truly feels like something was missing from my life till I read this.

now im praying a sequel will come out soon 🤞🤞
