The Review

The Title/Cover Draw:

  • Third book in the series! See previous reviews for what I thought there.

💜 What I liked:

  • We found out how the story ended and that was good. I thought the way they incorporated Theseus into the ending was also pretty awesome. 

😱 What I didn’t like:

  • Sometimes there were cliff hangers for the drama and there was a lot of action that had to happen. The most interesting part to me was a little intrigue section that happens, but to be honest it was not fleshed out as much as I thought. 

💁‍♀️ The Characters:

  • Same as previous books and introduced a childhood friend of Nova’s : Fletcher!

🚦 The Ending:

  • Nicely wrapped but would have liked the characters to have more direction and explanation of their “after” situation.

💭 Consider if you like:

  • Short Fantasy. 

All thoughts and opinions are my own.

📘 Summary:

Don’t miss this epic conclusion to the internationally bestselling young adult fantasy series.

Life magic is abundant in Nova’s world.

But it might just take death magic to save it.

Nova has sworn she will use every ounce of her wildcard power to bring down the worlds-destroying enemy that has gone undefeated for one hundred and fifty years.

The only hiccup in this otherwise solid plan is that she has no idea how.

But as she and her friends head to the war front to face this impossible task, they find themselves caught between powerful political forces, an unpopular prophesy, new and daunting revelations about their enemy, and the unstoppable might of the Malus itself.

If victory is possible, how much will it cost?
