    A perfect, emotionally fraught, bittersweet ending to ‘The Gilded ones’ trilogy. It’s been a while since a book has made me shed tears as much as this one has. Namina Forna has a way with words that can paint beauty in your mind and then break your heart. Highly recommend this trilogy.

    This book wraps the duology in a nice little bow. There are twists and turns, heartbreak and romance. Rune is just as amazing a character in this book as she was in the first and I really enjoyed this one a lot more as the characters felt like they had a lot more agency in their situation.

    Straight away I was drawn into this book by the slightly too serious main character Lorelai as she navigated a world of politics that did not have her interests at heart. This book has it all, folk tales come true, magic, a locked room mystery, betrayal, yearning romance and a happy ending. There are a lot of twists and turns in this book and moments that leave you guessing.
