What a stunning and intriguing front cover. This is book three in the Emily Knight series and although I haven't read the previous books this did not affect my overall enjoyment of the book. From the very beginning you are given lots of information about events that have taken place in the previous books so I always felt completely up-to-date on what was happening and the impact these events had had on the characters.
This book is full of adventure and action which will appeal to its readers. The pace is fast which helps capture ones imagination especially during the battle scenes. There is a real magical and fantasy element to the book which was not only intriguing but kept you guessing about what might happen next. Emily Knight is such a strong female protagonist and it was lovely to read a book rich in diversity and championing a female led.
Emily's family dramas and her unconventional family were definitely at the forefront of this novel and I loved how the book touched on the complexities of this family unit and on the themes of love and friendship. I loved the classroom questions that were added to the back pages which will promote lots of discussions about the book after reading.
