Contains Major Spoilers!
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5
Don’t read this review if you’re interested in picking up this series- go look at my reviews for the first two. This is just going to be a collection of my thoughts on this book and will spoil the whole thing. You have been warned.
I’m going to start right at the end— AHHHHH!!!! Why? Like why? How can we end a book in the middle of a battle scene 😳!!!! And I have to wait forever for War of the Woods 😭 (where’s that release date announcement?)
I keep expressing in these reviews that I wish things were made a bit clearer- for example I thought that the piece of the kindred stone in the Owl and the one in Star Solo were two different pieces. So this whole book I thought we were looking for the one in the owl!
Other than that, this book was a good continuation of the series, obviously a bit more of a lead up book for the final. It was a bit slower than the other 2, but we finally got the Fyn and Ivy kiss and a date! (Even though the date goes horribly wrong)
Speaking of the main couple- WHY does every couple in literature have to love triangle/square/shapes-with-even-more-sides?? We finally get some progress and now we have two other people getting in the way!
Anyways, Derwin’s death was shocking and even had me fooled for a little bit, but I quickly saw the hints that he was still alive. Rimbrick’s death was also very shocking and I liked how after we had a fake-out death, we did end up having a real one. However, I really liked Rim and wished we could have seen a bit more of him😢. But I really liked how we finally got to return to Castle Plum before Ivy’s final fight for the crown.
I’m excited to see how the series concludes and I honestly have no idea how it’s going to go down, but I do believe Ivy will finally win her crown (and her man😉 – I want to see Fyn become the King 👑)!
Life Is Just A Blur
