3.5 - Sorry but I did not like Ione. She is so boring and there was not enough Ione in book 1 for me to be attached to her in this book. I understand the effects of the Maiden card, it just would have been better if there was more character development for her prior to becoming a bore 🥱

Secondly, I did not like Ione + Elm. Partly because Ione is boring and partly because I wanted more Ravyn + Elspeth but mostly because Elm is a huge hypocrite!! 🙄 Had Elm been accepting/trusting of Elspeth in boo ...more

I’m really sad this is over. I got very attached to these characters. Found family is truly one of my all time favorite tropes. 4.5 stars of entertainment for this one simply because I couldn’t put it down for the last half of the book.
