An evil new magic threatens to undo all the progress women have made in the third and final book in Jenna Glass's riveting feminist fantasy, following The Women's War and Queen of the Unwanted. In the once male-dominated world of Seven Wells, women now control their own reproduction, but the battle for equality is far from over. Even with two thrones held by women, there are still those who cling to the old ways and are determined to return the world to the way it was. Now into this struggle comes a darker power. Delnamal, the former King of Aalwell, may have lost his battle to undo the spell that gave women reproductive control, but he has gained a terrible and deadly magic, and he uses these new abilities to raise an army the likes of which the world has never seen. Delnamal and his allies seem like an unstoppable force, destined to crush the fragile new balance between men and women. Yet sometimes it is possible for determined individuals to stem the tide, and it comes down to a unique triad of women--maiden, mother, and crone--to risk everything...not only to preserve the advances they have won but to change the world one final time.

Two criticisms I have of this book and the series as a whole. 
One is the series is incredibly hetero. I think they mentioned gay men briefly in the first book just in passing but that's it. I get it, not every book needs to be hella gay but I definitely enjoy books with queers better. 
Two, the ending was way too neat and clean. While on the one hand I was happy for the characters I've grown attached to over three books had happy endings, it was a bit much that they all did. I like a little sorrow mixed in with my happy.

** I received this as an E-ARC from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review, Thank you!** 

I good ending to a trilogy. I will admit that there were a few things that irked me regarding the characters. I would've liked a little more drama involved. The magic system was intriguing, and I would've love to see more than what we already know. I'll admit the writing wasn't my favorite, I think with more time we would've been able to flesh out the characters more and get other perspectives in this world. Overall it was an interesting read.
