jillie's review against another edition
and i’m so mad about it. I LOVED the first two books and I cannot believe what happens in this one. what the heck was the thought process to any of this?? was it supposed to be a duology and then the publisher tacked on a third? *incredibly* disappointed & thrown off.
considering I am not really a fan of the other Novik books i’ve read, I won’t be picking up another by her.

I thought that the series was quite solid. Book 3 really tied it all together and bits that were resolved were introduced in book 1 so it was quite good closure to see actions that have consequences and a resolution all together.
Some of the reveals were also top notch, since there's (in hindsight) a lot of foreshadowing but to be able to put it all together wasn't something I managed. I don't know if it was because of the gap between the books and it would have been obvious if I read them in closer succession but I was satisfied with how it came together.

It's pressed as Bi-representation but it's really not if there is no emotional attachment, attraction, it's simply an exchange to forget troubles and then when things are going better... It's just cheatingjjyork's review against another edition
