Customer Reviews

Still really good but fell off a little bit

Honestly love the Grishaverse books but I fell like this book fell off a little bit. The ending was pretty lackluster, especially with the build up from King of Scars and start of this book. I love the characters but was unsatisfied with the ending. Overall I’d still recommend, definitely some good in this book - I just wasn’t absolutely crazy about it. Probably really more of a 3.5.
