Oof, miss Evie Marceau, once again you left me hanging for the next book 🫣
This book follows the tragic ending on book two, and although i expected a bit more drama around what had happened, Sabine's side of the story was what kept me hooked. The novelty of this kingdom sitting behind the border of which we had not seen anything until this book, was what had me hanging out for more.
The gods were something I was really excited about but after being told in the first books how cruel they could be, they ended up falling a bit flat for my taste, if that makes any sense? I was really hoping for that cruelty but the times it was shown it ended up feeling more like a kid's capricious tantrum? But I'm not quite worried about why that is. I bet we'll understand why in upcoming books 😌
I am also really curious as to what's in store for Basten. I feel like he has so much more to offer but we haven't been shown any of this cards. Hopefully that's about to happen 🤞🏼
So far, I can't help but compare how reading this book felt to how reading FBAA 2 felt.
Was i engaged enough with the story that i kept reading? Yes.
Was that ending the plot twist I'd been waiting for? For sure.
Do i feel like i can only remember the ending? Also, yes 🥲
I feel like longer series sometimes have these slower points that are inevitable but can feel like they drag the story a bit in a way. But I hope this means that what we're about to get in book 4 will be worth the wait 😌
Thank you so much to Evie for trusting me with an ARC of this book, I'm really grateful and I can't wait for the next one 🤩
