To get this out of the way. Yes the book “lacked” in certain regards compared to the previous books but that in no means diminished what occured in this book. Originally I was very upset with inner turmoil and rage at the decisions made in this book. . .However after considering it I’ve come up with a realization. Semi spoiler but this book basically served as a catalyst to “sever” boxxy’s connection to azure veil. looking at how the last book ended it’s easy to see boxxy became too attached to one area and this book gave us all the reasons why it’s time to close the lid on this box and move out. The decisions that were made while highly upsetting were masterfully narrated and detailed and oh god the music in this book was amazing it totally put me on the edge of my seat with how good it made the fight scenes. This book basically sets up the next book to be more like book 2 or 3 which I for 1 cannot wait to see.
