"By you, I am forever undone."
A wonderful conclusion.
Contrary to popular opinion, I think that this was my least favourite book in the original trilogy, but I loved it all the same.
There is a lot of character growth and healing in this book. We see familial bonds grow stronger. We see a lot more romance. We see Jude struggle between choosing her heart or her logic after so much betrayal. When this trilogy gets hyped up for the romantic element, it's definitely because of this book.
This book is an ode to staying true to yourself even when it seems like your hands are tied. Jude always finds a way to take control of the situation even when others try to take away the control that she has.
Holly Black keeps us on our toes with the twists and turns. I wasn't sure what I expected... but some of these twists blindsided me.
Overall a wonderful trilogy, I loved the worldbuilding, I loved the faeries. The high stakes and twists kept me turning the pages quickly, and the dash of romance tied it all together. I'll definitely be reading more of the Elfhame books.
