Laini Taylor is downright one of my favorite authors. She can weave a mean web of words. I have never given a book less than 5 stars from her until now. Where I loved the first 2 books in the series, this one seemed a little too stretched out. What I mean by that is the first half of the book she spent pages and pages describing a feeling or a thought. I found myself skimming through these parts more often than I would like to remember. Then the 2nd half of the book happened and the action started and the beautiful words flowed again.
This book starts off where book 2 leaves off. We get to spend a lot of time with some of the characters we truly love and meet new ones as well. Laini finishes the story with a satisfying but somewhat open ending. There's a possibility she could continue with the story if she so chooses. If not, we are not left hanging.
Totally enjoyed this series. Look forward to anything else Laini puts out there.
