The stunning third book in Jennifer A. Nielsen's New York Times bestselling Traitor's Game series! Simon and Kestra are hurtling down paths ever farther from each other as the battle for control of Antora rages. Simon, newly king of the Halderians, is pressed on all sides by royal duties. Harlyn Mindell is his betrothed and intended queen, but Simon can't give up hope for a life with Kestra. Kestra, exiled, feels her magic growing -- and despite everyone's warnings, she knows she must embrace it. That power is the key to the kingdom's future. Both still strive to defeat the evil Lord Endrick, but danger awaits them on the murky road forward. And is a common enemy enough to help them survive -- or to carry them back to each other? Jennifer A. Nielsen delivers breathtaking twists and shocking revelations in an epic and action-packed third installment of The Traitor's Game.

Everyone in this book is exhausting, there are like 3 final battles and the dragon is barely there. Not bad, just a predictable conclusion to a fantasy trilogy.

It slightly better than the second one, but I felt like this book is a compilation of continuous short stories. The whole plot and goals isn't the same, and reading about Kestra's thought and intentions when she's controlled by the corruption is not fun.

I do enjoy the pacing better, because it's definitely faster and more action-packed. The characters are still a mystery to me because they changed way too much.

I loved the series overall as a whole (particularly book 1!), but this book felt a little bogged down to me. Kestra’s dark descent into her magical abilities wasn’t the most fun to read. It was understandable, given the lore in this series, but it felt like events were a bit drawn out before reaching the big plot points. I love the main characters (Kestra, Simon, Basil, Gabe, Harlyn, Darrow, etc.), but in this installation, I never really made a connection to newcomer Joth, so that sort of disengaged me from the big dilemmas towards the end. That being said, the trilogy comes to a solid and, for the most part, satisfying conclusion!
