It's the third book in the series, and it picks up right where we left the characters at the end of book 2.

What I liked:
- We get to know some of the characters better, get some insights into their backstories and/or some interesting character development (Julius needs to do some growing up, then there's Chelsie, Ghost, Justin, F-clutch...)
- The snappy dialogue and style of writing I enjoy in all of Rachel Aaron's books. :)
- A couple of strong scenes and character dynamics that really spoke to me (Chelsie/Julius, Amelia/Bob, Ghost/Marci).

What I didn't like:
- The major cliffhanger ending.
- At times, things got rather repetitive (for example “no, killing your siblings is not okay”, “I want to be a Merlin, but wtf is a Merlin anyway?”, “don't you DARE try and free me”...)
- Algonquin and the Leviathan. I can't even say why, but I don't want to read about them.
- The amount of typos and mistakes left over from rewriting / editing was a bit distracting (Kindle edition, I don't know about others).
