Woof...why is a hecking cat more interesting than the two main leads?
I think this one is my least favourite out of the three books, and I really enjoyed the second one. Again I do love me a middle book. Might bump that one after all this.
Lack off best boy Nikolai to carry the plot and be the only interesting character really shows, especially considering how much the beginning and the third half of the book dragged...and how he was taken out of the story...
The ending is fine, it’s fine, it makes sense for the characters it wraps the story up with a nice little bow, it’s fine. It’s fine. It’s fine.
Honestly Alina does not deserve better than Mal and it’s fine.

Excellent! A great sequel to its predecessor, a light and fun story, and it’s great action, mystery and romance! Loved this one so much for a quick read!

Strong 4.5 stars! What a great and simple book! The characters are likeable, the plot is fast moving and engaging, and the world building is fascinating! I greatly needed a book to take my mind off things and this was it! I can imagine how much I would love this series, if I was the intended age for it, but even still it was simple and enjoyable!

Loved this one, as much as the story is relatively the sameish and it takes a while to start off, but once it does, boy it does not disappoint. I loved the new characters introduced and the references to the 12 labours of Hercules. Zoë might be my favourite character in this series by far. The twist at the end was a little predictable, but still good. I cautiously think this one is my favourite out of the series!
