Writing style was okay, nothing special. Plot wise I liked the solution and the happy end , but after they had Jael to go back to Eretz the book left me wondering what would happen in the last hundred pages or so. The last plot twist didn't get me because it was solved so fast, like they didn't think much about it.
Characters: my favourite, after Brimstone died in the first book, was definitely Liraz, because she was more relatable than the others and I really do ship her and Ziri, but why does she have to look up when he's in his natural body again? Don't get me wrong, I love that he has his "right" body back, but I'm not a fan of the fact that Liraz was an absolute queen before and now has to look up to somebody and is blushing and all. I thought she was tall. Why can't she be the same height at least? Doesn't seem realistic to me. But well, I ranted enough.
All in all I would say it was a solid read, nothing outstanding though.

Whelp, my below review is so sweet and innocent 😅 I felt that the introduction of lore and world building came too late in a series and should have been spread out more throughout the novel, even if just odd tidbits that would make sense at the end of the series. I would love to see more of this world/the strange the dreamer world because I do think it's an interesting idea and Taylor is a good writer.
2017: 5 stars
Oh that was so precious 😍😭 such a perfect perfect ending holy moly, my babies were together and Ertz is healing and it's perfect
It took me forever to get through the first half of the book just because I didn't want the story to end 😂 I really enjoyed the plot and all the mini plots in it
The story didn't end like a happily ever after, but a honest way of post war and rebuilding a world
As always, the writing style was perfect
This definitely one of my favourite series now ♥️
