Helpful Score: 2
Loved it! I advise reading the books in order for the best enjoyment. I can't think of what to say except ... the story and characters are amazing. And the series is a keeper for me.
Book 3 overlaps just slightly with The Shattered Sylph. We see all the major and secondary characters in this one. This story is told in multiple points of view; major characters are killed/severely injured (both physical and emotional). While there is a lot of death in this one; it also spurs personal growth with those who survived. They learn what their greatest weaknesses are and also their greatest strengths. The sense of family also plays in the the storyline; family is the family you make, not necessarily the one you are born in. Right now there are only 3 published novels in this series. Book 3 does have a satisfying end, thankfully no cliff hanger in this one. (Which is good as book 4 looks like it's written, but has no publishing date, so who knows when or even if it will be out.)
