Sabaa when I catch you!!

This book does its job, but I do think it's the weakest in the series.

Helene gets NOTHING are you KIDDING ME?? what was the point in making her suffer so much???? She winds up alone while Laia and Elias just get off free???? Yeah Darin dies, but Mirra gets brought back conveniently and Laia is just fine with that.

Keris is one of the most chilling, well written female villains I've ever read, and you END HER STORY LIKE THIS????? HUH???

So, it could have been better. I honestly think this series could have been expanded into 5 installments. (And also written as an adult series.)
