Summary:
    Blair has lived her entire life without empathy, and considering all the people she murdered during her career as an assassin, she's not sure she could survive its return. Regardless, she wants the option, and so she journeys, accompanied by Prince Raj, to find a cure. 
    rate Paige feels they've finished their stint doing the right thing and helping Blair save Regiis, and are ready to reassume their typical pirate immorality. Except the moment they step foot on their boat, they're informed they're no longer captain--the Drei ruler Sybil, who gifted the crew with inhuman power, will only allow the ship to sail if Paige isn't on it. Distraught, Paige decides to go hunting for a way to reverse Sybil's curse. 
    All Reine wants to do is help her kingdom put itself back together, reassembled into a democracy to give every citizen a voice. After the fallout from her father's murder, and then the Drei ambassador Rhiannon's  she knows how important it is to give her people power. When receives word that the Drei plan to march on Regiis, Reine must decide what she is willing to sacrifice, and what she must fight to preserve at all costs. 

Thoughts: 
    I had so much fun reading and editing this book. Most of my thoughts are in my edit letter, but: this is a fun and clever finale to a fun and clever fantasy series. I enjoyed the characters endlessly; they were precise and exciting and keep popping into my head even days later. I am already looking forward to re-reading the series again sometime soon.
