Summary
Love kills kingdoms …
Back in Grim’s castle on Nightshade, Isla is reeling in the wake of a brutal battle and the devastating truths it exposed. Her future—and the fate of the world—now hinge on a heart split in two.
Past Isla, who fell in love with the ruler of Nightshade, fights to resist feelings she considers treasonous. The Isla of the present, who has seen the ruin her powers can cause, will do anything to save Lightlark and its king.
As the line between enemy and friend is tested, Isla is more desperate than ever to understand the oracle’s final prophecy and change her heartrending fate. But a storm is coming. And with it, a long-buried evil greater than anything the realms have faced before.
With the clock ticking on her destiny and the survival of two warring kingdoms hinging on her own shattered heart, Isla Crown will either save the world—or destroy it.

I'll preface the following saying that I'm still giving the book 4 stars because despite the frustrations I wanted to keep reading and wanted to see what happened. I liked the concept, the overall plot. I even liked the love triangle to begin with.
To begin with.
Now, after three books, it just feels like a shoe-horned tragedy. Isla needs to choose and grow up. Oro needs to find someone who deserves him. Isla is obviously matched to Grim. He is the one that matches her, warts and all.
Isla's lack of growth is annoying as. Everytime I thought she was getting somewhere, she dug her heels in and learnt nothing. Then, magically, everything comes together for her but it seemed more convenient than truly acquired skill. A little communication and a little less selfishness would have seen her win faster.
The ending... wow. That sooo could have been good. Another chapter or two and the entire story could have been wrapped up. Instead, the final battle felt rushed and the story cuts off on a cliffhanger that left me feeling flat. I do not want another whole book. I just wanted an ending. A proper one.
