3.5

Good enough. Progresses well, good character development and variety, lots of action and reveals,… yet I don’t like this as much as Throne of Glass or even ACOTAR- maybe because I don’t like the characters as much (Tharion and Ithan eh) or love any of the rest really.
Also what was with Tharion and Ariadne ending as it did? So random and inconclusive. Also as big as the battle is- no one died besides Cormac? Also Hel and the Fallen can risk their souls but no one on Midgard? Seems dumb. Like the wolves ended up being a no factor.
Just meh I think.
