Rating: ***** (5/5)
GUYS!!!!! This trilogy is seriously one of my top favorites of all time. I, unlike many readers, have not read any of Holy Blacks work aside from this trilogy and I was not disappointed! I loved everything about it. The writing was beautiful and completely transported you into her world. The characters are all complex and you can't help but love them, even the villain's get loved for this utterly wicked way. The world building in these books could make anyone drool. The romance was on point. I don’t even feel like this is much of a review because I don’t have a single issue with what I read. I guess I just wish that we had more. Greedy I know but I wished we had more time with the characters just interacting with one another. I needed more cute frustrated romance bits.

I wish we would have seen more of Jude and Cardan together, especially after the climax of the last book. Like we know Jude and Cardan will have a proper wedding but we also know she is going to get a coronation. As a reader, it would have been super super satisfying to be there. I mean the entire trilogy we are following her as she rises and falls. As she struggles with power and to get Carden on the same page as her. It would have been a great wrap up for the books. Regardless though the book was amazing and I don’t hate at all how it ended. Just a few reader desire’s haha. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this trilogy, honestly everyone should read it. Then come back here and talk to me about it but omg! So good!
