Welcome to another episode of "I picked this one up at the book fair for $1, no idea what it was about, didn't read the back of it and it had a funny cover so I assumed it was lighthearted but turns out it had pretty dark themes and I sobbed".
Will I ever learn?

Short and no-nonsense and to the point.
"Other demons" indeed. People suck.

The worst of the trilogy. Entirely unnecessary, too.

Great storytelling and insight on many things.
The only downside was the scattered timeline - I'm a big fan of starting from the start.

Look. The *big sad thing* got spoiled for me and that kinda ruined the fun of it, but while I still had an emotion, it was all kinda.. bleah. Cecelia remains a terrible FMC.
Shoutout to the Twilight reference, though.

@BettyMcKeough I feel you entirely. I'll be devastated when I won't have any more Fitz and Fool to read 💔

I'm almost at the end of a 17 books journey and frankly I will be devastated when I won't be in Fitz's head anymore. It's one of my favourite places to be.
I loved everything about this book. Everything.
