I love the first three books with Cardan and Jude so much and I was pretty happy with stolen heir, but I don’t think this one really lived up to the rest. Switching POVs to oak was nice since we got his perspective on things but I felt like we lost all of wrens complexity when it did, and that’s something I found really compelling about Hollys works was her female characters so it felt like a loss overall. I was way more interested in tiernan and hyacinth and their romance and history than anything between wren and oak tbh I felt that would have been a better book. Still read the whole thing, Holly’s world building is unmatched and I would still recommend this series if you loved the first trilogy

every book in this series will get 5 stars from me. love the characters endlessly, and think about them every day :')
