"BY U IM FOREVER UNDONE?! HIS LETTERS- OMGGG "

pia (taylor's version)

"The series comes to a gratifying end as Jude is called back to the fae court disguised as her twin sister. As enemies, both family and friends, close in around her Jude will discover true power and perhaps true love. Im so glad I listened to this book on audio, it was so delightful and hard to stop listening to. If you are a fan of author Sarah J. Maas, Holly Black’s characters reminded a lot of the independent heroins I became so fond of!"

"I think I liked this one the best out of the series. It has a happy ending that made me smile."

Meagan Khatthaname

"Definitely the best of the three - honestly much better writing than the first two, too!"

Brenna Luevano

"3/5 setting this squarely between books 1 and 2. a political thriller laced w fantasy that doesn’t reveal its teen romcom-ittude until the montage makeovers and cheesy romance scenes. still a lack of character developments in comparison to the first, but i ranked it better than the last if not only for the ability to get a formal and satisfying ending to the series once and for all. I enjoyed the series overall, and I am thankful for Black to inciting a small part of me to indulge in fantasy after a long time!"

"Liked this book and I felt like the ending was a good way to end the story. I love a good enemies to lovers trope and I’m excited to read the next one"

"my only complaint with this book is that i wish it was longer. a beautiful wrap up to not only jude and cardans story but everyone else's as well. this whole series was an absolute delight from start to finish. "
