I thought Vonny & Seth were written sympathetically even when they make questionable decisions. There were plenty of twists & turns to keep the plot moving along. There is quite a lot of graphic violence in the book, & the prologue is rather shocking & briefly involves animals - I wish I had been forewarned. 4🌟

Thanks to NetGalley & publishers, Head of Zeus, for the opportunity to read an ARC.

This one was just a mess. I really enjoyed the previous book, but ToS not so much. I've made it this far into the series, so I'll complete it, but had this been the first book of the series I'd read I wouldn't continue.

If you go into these books expecting great writing and hole-free plots, you're gonna be disappointed. But if you just want a fast and fun story with lots of action, they fit the bill.

I think this is my favorite of the series so far. Much more edge of your seat than the previous books.

I enjoyed this one a lot more than the past couple. While I was reading I got curious as to why the bard's name is Jaskier in the show and Dandelion in the books. Turns out it was a change made by the translator. Jaskier apparently translates to Buttercup, but the translator didn't think that fit, so they chose a different flower, hence Dandelion. 🙂

I enjoyed this one but not as much as it seems most people have. It was good, but not my favorite of the year or even the month. Still, a fine book, and the audio was very well done.

Loved this one. I'd take an entire series of just Strax, Vastra, and Jenny.

This one started out so good, I was sure I was going to love it. But by the middle it got so bogged down and just dragged for the last half. Lots of potential, but it wasn't fully realized.

TheSpineView That's disappointing. I have not gotten to this one yet. 3y
Traci1 @TheSpineView it could just be where my mood was at. I listen to these on audio, and while I love the narrator, I found myself drifting a bit. 3y
TheSpineView @Traci1 I read the first two books of the series and was not crazy about the second. I have been debating on reading book 3. 3y
Traci1 @TheSpineView of the 4 I've read, I feel like Last Wish was the best. I've liked each one after a little less than the one before. 3y
TheSpineView @Traci1 oh well... maybe I will just wait a bit before I attempt the 3rd book. 3y

This was an average read. It is refreshing to see an author include an MC with a disability but not make the character reliant upon that as their entire character. None of the characters are particularly nice. Overall the pace & plot were okay but the characters need distinguishing from each other more. 3⭐

My thanks to NetGalley & publishers, Avon Books UK, for the opportunity to read an ARC.
