5.0

5/5. A definite must-read if you've read the previous books in the series.

The pandemic storyline was really interesting to read, given that we are now still fighting a pandemic. I love the way magic was used throughout the book to try slow down and stop the pandemic. You've got magical spells used to test, trace, and isolate patients; healers that ease patients' suffering; Tris and Niko using their powers to find where the disease originated; Briar, Rosethorn, and Crane using their plant magic to find a cure; and many more cases of magic mixing with pandemic occurrences. It makes the world feel natural and the magic just a natural expansion of our world.


Looking forward to the next book in the series.
