Five Stars! 
 I don't even know I want to go back and read The Master Magician after this! This was honestly the author's best book she's written because it actually feels like YA and not middle grade. Also who can blend "The Ice Queen" and " Beauty and the Beast" together and make it believable? Also making Smitha from a cold, unlikeable,cruel,vain, and selfish girl who didn't give a damn about anyone into a warm, kind- hearted,thoughtful, and selfless woman who found happiness,love and place that feels home after coming to terms with the things she have done and her curse. Who's journey to becoming a better person was so wonderful to read. Also the worldbuilding in this was amazing with such wonderful characters.. 
 Lo is my new book boyfriend! mmm I like the Sadriel too to a certain extent. Imad can be my BFF! lol 
 So if you are having trouble reading the Paper Magician trilogy read this one because it's honestly the best one from this author.
