This is the fifth book in this particular retelling YA fantasy series.... and is my favorite yet! Maeve is such a fireball and her story is one I've wanted since this series started. This is a series that MUST be read in order, as there are ties that connect them all so far. The best part of this book though was the deeper dive on Aspen... and the connections made. These characters are so FLAWED and so BROKEN and have had to overcome so much. This book also altered my overall thoughts on some other characters as well. Such a good book!
