Another fantastic five star book in this series. This was my most anticipated book of the year and it did not disappoint!

The pacing of this book is incredible- so many POVs, including new POVs, all of which were so well done. It’s action packed, but it is balanced out perfectly with non insane (but still important) plot. I loved the storylines throughout the book. You’re introduced to new settings and characters (who you’ll immediately love) that bring an entire new layer to this series. The relationships in the book (across so many characters) are so beautifully written. The familiars are still one of my favorite parts of this series - you meet some new ones in this book. As always, wonderful dialogue throughout.

This series stays the best urban fantasy I’ve ever read. The magic system and creatures are so thoughtful and the urban/modern setting/plot doesn’t feel forced at all. World building is seamlessly added- it’s not a huge info dump. You learn as you go organically and I love that - so hard to do. You are immediately sucked into the world to the point you forget you’re not actually there.

I absolutely love the new characters we were introduced to in this book. I’m already itching for book four especially after that ending. There are so many badass moments in this book both for new characters and old. I enjoyed every second of this book (even the heart wrenching ones).

Once again, I couldn’t put this book down and stayed up until 3 AM reading. It’s binge worthy just like the previous two. It is my favorite of the series so far. 10/10 will always recommend.
