At this point, since these novels are a few years ahead of the St Mary's novels in terms of internal timeline, I'm going to assume that something has happened to make Max forget what she knows about the Princes in the Tower. (My guess is it probably relates to what's going on with [redacted individual] in the St Mary's books. Which worries me bc I love [redacted individual] dearly :(

This takes place well after the most recent St Mary's book, so why does Max in her internal dialogue act like she has no clue what happened to the Princes in the Tower when there's an entire book dedicated to her figuring that out?????? I assume it is somehow part of her deception but it's weird bc it's her thoughts, not just what she says.

How the fuck is Taylor able to make GRINT of all people likeable? Credit to her for being able to write characters who are so hate-worthy early on but make them grow believably to a point where I'm almost rooting for them.

I think this book is like a combination of Un Lun Dun and T Kingfisher's fantasy novels (in a good way!)

Very T Kingfisher vibes to this book!

I'm enjoying learning about all the consequences of using too much evil magic!

Audiobook listen.

Excited to finally be able to read this after Kobo fucked up my preorder (which took me multiple support chats over multiple days to get sorted out). I had to wait 8 days after publication to get my ebook (though I preordered it months ago) but it's finally here!

Did NOT expect this to get so heavy, wow.

I might dnf this 😶

I loved the first 2 books but this one isn't drawing me in at all.

Pot roast is back!!!!!! 😍

LOVE that this opened with a comprehensive and detailed summary of everything that happened in the previous book! I remembered the overarching story but had forgotten a lot of details in the past year and a half since the first book came out.

More sequels should provide refreshers!
