Christabelle (Davina) is attacked right at the beginning of the book, and you come to realise just how hard this life is (and has been) for her. You would think that she would jump at the chance of marrying above her class, but something is holding her back. The dreams about a certain Scotsman don't help her either. Theo is a nice character but you already know that he doesn't stand a chance, no matter what Broderick might be saying.
With the prophecy in full swing, Malloren "helping" where she can, Prince Amir and now a spirit witch in the mix, this story does get a bit confusing at times as there are a lot of players, all with different agendas.
Even saying that I can still honestly say that this book was very well written, with no editing or grammatical errors to distract the reading flow. This is an excellent addition to the series and I look forward to reading more about Broderick and Davina in the next of the series.

I slowly limped through the first half of it, and had to literally talk myself into watching the next episode.
The main reason for this is just how painfully boring it's all is.
The much anticipated 'All Out War' storyline from the comic series is in full swing, after being set up through season 7, and every episode feels like it's just uninspired gun fight after uninspired gun fight. Any episodes in the past seasons that featured this kind of action felt exciting and tense. It happened rarely so was impactful when they came along.
Here, it just feels a lot like dead weight.
I also felt the writers saw TWD as a much artier project than it actually is at this point - there only so much of main characters staring deeply into the horizon, or at the sun that I care to watch.
Even character deaths feel dragged out and testing and so many
of the gory practical effects have been replaced by sub par CGI now, that it just doesn't even warrant a reaction. It's a sad state of affairs.
It's not all bad, I guess? All of the acting talent are still stellar, they're just not being given much to do. Although the Negan storyline failed to light up the small screen for me, I still enjoy him as a character, and JDM as an actor. There are still some entertaining set pieces strewn throughout, but the overall experience is a shadow of it's former self.

This is a great third book in the series. I loved the twist on the locked room puzzle presented here. There are several good suspects and clues that kept me reading as Tully worked to match the right suspect with the ability to pull off the crime. I also love the characters. Tully and her family are strong, and their relationships go through quite a bit here. I appreciate the growth it showed us for them. Naturally, the suspects are just as strong. I also appreciated that the characters understood why the police were focusing on Bree. They disagreed, but they worked to change their minds. Naturally, as an ice cream lover, I also enjoyed the ice cream descriptions. The book left me smiling and yearning for ice cream.
