"The writing has improved, but the actual story felt a bit lacking for an ending - and the storyline was what had kept me hopeful about the series. A big thing lacking for me too, was character development, cause the MC doesn't seem all that different to me from how she started and she had three books to grow through. In general, I didn't love the series, and surprisingly I liked the second book best despite what I'd heard. I personally wouldn't recommend the series, but I know plenty of other people loved it, so take that how you will. 6/10🐍"

"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!"

"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!"
