Labyrinth's Heart

M. A. Carrick2023
“Lush, engrossing and full of mystery and dark magic" (BookPage), Labyrinth's Heart is the thrilling conclusion to M. A. Carrick's Rook & Rose trilogy, in which a con artist, a vigilante, and a crime lord become reluctant allies in the quest to save their city from a dangerous ancient magic. May you see the face and not the mask. Ren came to Nadežra with a plan. She would pose as the long-lost daughter of the noble house Traementis. She would secure a fortune for herself and her sister. And she would vanish without a backward glance. She ought to have known that in the city of dreams, nothing is ever so simple. Now, she is Ren, con-artist and thief. But she is also Renata, the celebrated Traementis heir. She is Arenza, the mysterious pattern-reader and political rebel. And she is the Black Rose, a vigilante who fights alongside the legendary Rook. Even with the help of Grey Serrado and Derossi Vargo, it is too many masks for one person to wear. And as the dark magic the three of them helped unleash builds to storm that could tear the very fabric of the city apart, it's only a matter of time before one of the masks slips—and everything comes crashing down around them.

i think i was initially so overwhelmed with everything that was taking place in these books that i didn’t realize how emotionally attached i had become to the characters by the end of it. i also don’t think i’ve ever finished a series, especially a trilogy, where it really felt complete until now. it didn’t have a drawn out ending, but there were also no loose ends. after the abundance of chaos, my heart feels very full.

I was lucky enough to get this ARC from NetGalley! A great ending to a great series, and kept me hooked all the way through. The rhetoric is wonderful, and the world building (as with the other 2 in this series) is top notch. Where the book really shines is the character development: you really feel invested in their trials and tribulations. Some of the twists at the end caught me by surprise (in a good way), and I also didn’t feel like any threads were left hanging. Would recommend this whole series!
