What readers think
Fans of the series widely consider Court the best instalment yet, praising its fast pace, major plot twists, and the satisfying growth of Grace and Hudson's relationship. The found-family dynamics and emotionally intense scenes earn consistent love. Critics point to the book's sheer length (700–940 pages depending on edition) and some filler content that pads the plot without advancing it, and Macy's reckless choices frustrated many readers. The cliffhanger ending left some readers impatient rather than thrilled, and the resolution of the Jaxon/Hudson love triangle was genuinely divisive.
