I wish there had been more of a recap. Having been so long since I read the 3rd book, I had forgotten exactly what led up to the moment of the opening chapter. 

Books 1-3 were great! This book was good, but it was a book of tying up ends, not necessarily explaining anything further or MC growth. The character growth that did happen was for side characters and bad guys… which was an interesting choice.

The big bad had quite the setup for very little payout. There was so much opportunity to expand on his role, magic and setting. We got the barest of that, which was disappointing.

I felt like every chapter was a closing chapter… which made the reading experience unfortunately, very repetitive. All the things that were listed as problems by the characters just… fix themselves quickly and neatly. This could have been edited a little more to cut some of the repetitive moments and internal dialogue in favor of SHOWING us more of the key aspects from the previous books resolved. 

I liked how it ended… but thought the final steps of the lead up were skimmed over.

Thank you NetGalley and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for an Advanced eReader Copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
