This was absolutely my favorite of the trilogy. Allllll the slow build up pays off here! Also I always appreciate a casual polyamorous representation:)

5.0
I can’t imagine a better, more satisfying finish to Daniel Heath Justice’s fantasy trilogy than Dreyd, the final, exhilarating book. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you should have a look at my review of the first and the second book in this fantastic series.
Like all good speculative fiction series installments, Dreyd picks up just about where Wyrwood left off, but with a slight detour into the past. By book two, we already knew Vergis Thane—a man who hunts Kyn folk for their magic—and Denarra Syrene—a she-Strangeling, a travelling musician and actress, as well as a Wielder—had some kind of past. The very beginning of Dreyd takes us back to see how Thane has got as awful as he is, and why Denarra has a connection to this horrible guy. The plot thickens! I think Denarra’s is my favourite storyline, and we get to see lots of her in this third book, including what her life in Chalimor, the capital in a far land of humans....
