I liked this final book way better than the 2nd book. I felt it dragged a bit in the middle and that the ending left something more to be desired (I really wanted to know more about if the actions of the characters changed the kings mind about women‘s roles in leadership) and was way too short for the amount of time spent on plot in the book. I would say over all, a descent end to the series. I give 2.8/5 stars
