when i say this series was wild, i mean it was wild. it messed with my head, feelings and most of all: my sanity. i’ve screamed, i’ve cried and i’ve stared at the pages thinking to myself “how did i get here?”. but i’m fine, i’m fine, i am fine!! we’ve survived (have we?) and that’s all that matters.

I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher. This in no way impacted on my view.

Soul of Cinder is the third and final installment in the Heart of Thorns trilogy. I have mixed feelings about this trilogy but as a whole, I really enjoyed following this feminist story about magic and woman wanting to stop the abuse that kept happening to them over decades. I really loved the concept and how magic was only something women could have. What I did not expect was how dark this trilogy came to be.

The scars of hurt, betrayal, and trauma live in our hearts, but how do we let others in and define our ...more

well, here we go. This will be the book that determines whether or not Bree Barton’s books are for me. I was not a huge fan of the first two books; mainly because of the very forced and unnatural-feeling feminism shoved in.
I have a terrible feeling this one will have even more of that.
