4.5****

You never miss your shadow until you’re lost in the dark.

So I don’t even know where to start this review as I’m just so sad that my journey with Mia has ended. I feel like I have been punched in the gut and now I don’t know what to do as the series has ended. But it ended spectacularly and now I am just sitting here contemplating the end of the series.

In this book things are coming to the great finale. Mia makes her own discoveries and old and new characters from the books come together for the final showdown. There was political intrigue, Gods and lots of death and gore leading to great revelations and epic fight scenes. This book invoked a range of emotions in me: shock at discoveries, curiosity of learning about the history, sadness and best of all- humour. This book still had the same sense of wit and sarcasm as the previous books and I absolutely adored it. All of the scenes between Mercurio and Mia were my favourite due to their wittiness and love to one another.

This was not the full five stars as I didn’t care much for the romance bickering and a whining child 😂. Other than that this was a brilliant ending to a fantastic series with one of my favourite main characters. I’m just so sad it’s over.

”Don’t fuck with librarians young lady. We know the power of words.”
