[Yaritza · Rating 5 out of 5]

Truly a plot twist for Kady. Her uncle had a huge secret that changes Kady's mind about her uncle. Will she give her uncle what he wants in order to release someone very important to her. We will have to find out. I thought this was the last book but it didn't end as of yet. This book went into depth on Kady's past and what actually happened to her family and the reason towards blocking her magic. It will leave you thinking who truly is looking for power. As the reader reads they will unravel the story and will think who should Kady truly trust. Advice from Master Yaritza sometimes secrets must be kept in order to defend what is right.

It's more of a 3.5 read than a 4. This book read better for me than the previous one. Also it seems I was wrong in thinking this was going to be a trilogy, because based on the ending it very clearly is not.

Big pluses: more world building - with more attention given to building on previous work done in the series. More depth given to the characters, the introduction of a new character and Khady losing some of her whiny edge.

The alternating chapters between K and A helped the story pick up some much needed pace, and get the ball rolling. Getting more of the events that shaped some of the characters and their choices was great. Elements of the potential love connection felt a bit forced, but I appreciate that it's not at the top of the protagonists mind. It's amazing to have a female protagonist who focuses on what needs to be done, instead of just the guy.

The ending is slightly cliffhanger-ish, but there is enough resolution with other aspects of the story that it doesn't feel horrid not having the next book.

*I am a lucky fish and got an ARC of the book*

Can you be good and evil both?

Kady is light and her uncle is dark, maybe. Can someone who does evil be good as well, Kady must decide. This third book in the series is intense and filled with struggles that resound within the reader.
