I love that the pacing of this book finally slowed down a bit. You got to see some depth to some of the characters and see how they process things. Alanna really starts to come into her own. But I won't lie, this one has always left me extremely frustrated with most of the male characters.

4.5 stars! I really and genuinely love the adventure we went on in this third novel! Alanna is coming into her womanhood nicely after spending so long as a man. I love how she spent the year that this book takes place coming into her own. I love her even more now than I did in the beginning. I'm understanding why this series is so beloved!

Overall review for the series: it's decent, but definitely reads like the first novels of the author's that it is. The pacing is off, the climaxes are resolved a little too quickly and abruptly, but there's potential there and a good world and characters that have been built. Hoping the future series are better.

My rating for this is probably more a 3.5-3.75 stars. I did enjoy this story but at times I felt the plot dragged and some of the characters frustrated me to no end. I also felt that some things could've been explored a little more, particularly in regards to the Rogue court's politics. I still enjoyed this though and I am looking forward to continuing on with my reread.
