Ridiculous... just plain ridiculous!!! Richelle Mead always has those WTF moments during the 3rd book of a series and this one was no different.
At 3 different spots I had to step away chanting WTF because of the twists she displayed.
Throughly entertaining and amazing. I can't wait to see how Eugiene deals with her latest calamity!

Good, I just wish the main character had continued to grow instead of slide back into acting like a teenager. A bit of a disappointment. I feel like this series has fantastic potential to be something bigger and better but instead went the way of a petulant teenager. Disappointing. I hope the final book redeems it.

And This is Why I Hate MOST Love Triangles. I get it the suspense of who will win the girl is a good tension builder but I’m of the opinion that once the heroine has slept with and gone back and forth between the two possible choices multiple times now I’m just don’t care anymore. Mostly I’m irritated with how much of the story that portion is taking up.
Eugenie…Eugenie…Eugenie….what are you thinking. Okay so is isn’t just the love triangle that I’m having a few issues with it is also Eugenie’s complete and utter disregard of any of her duties to a land she claimed. She spends a lot of time neglecting her kingdom and pretending that she is normal in the human world. She is the Ostridge sticking her head into the ground and pretending that everything isn’t happening around her. She honestly drives me a little crazy.
Sometimes she is bad-ass and then other times she is just a complete mess trying to avoid any responsibility to anything. I just wanted her to accept her choices and own them, instead of hiding.
The characters in this that I really liked the most were Dorian because he is a pretty fun guy even when machinating and finagling Eugenia into places she needs to be and Jasmine. YES you herd me right I liked Jasmine the half-sister that at one time wanted to kill Eugenia and have the Stormlord’s grandchild she is the one I wanted more page time with.
I will give props to the twist toward the end. While I did see part of it coming I didn’t see people’s reaction to it and what it would drive Eugenie to do. I am invested in how the story will play out and I’m happy that this book SHOULD have totally resolved the love triangle completely so I won’t have to deal with that anymore but overall this is the weakest book in the series so far.

Whilst this series has got some serious flaws in my opinion, I can't help but be enraptured by it. I can't wait to see what happens ni the next one!
I don't remember reading this trilogy before, but it's on my read pile in Goodreads...
This time, I had a hard time getting past the strict view on gender and toxic options for "loving" relationships.

Meh. I like the series but the back and forth with Dorian and Kiyo is beyond old. Maybe she should trying NOT sleeping with them and see how she fairs NOT being in a relationship.
Consent in these books is rather iffy and starting to seriously sleeve me out. Also, Eugenie makes terrible choices.
Love this series!!! Richelle mead does not disappoint in anything she writes. I'm on the 4th book in 5 days. So amazing! This series is a must read!
