LOVE LOVE LOVE.

OK, this is probably skewed by how much I loved the ending, but damn, I got really emotional. Did it drag in a few places? Maybe. But that ending. My heart is happy.

Stunning ending!

Okay so I’m finally finished this series and WOW that was a hell of a ride. First of all I love Amani, Sam Shazad and Ahmed. They were my favssss. The plot was the beauty of these books, you had to watch every little things because in the end everything was important. I LOVE THAT.
Hamilton is the queen of writing folklore and legends and twisting them into the plot.
But for me it was missing something. Don’t get me wrong I’m gonna be thinking about Amani for a very long time. But I didn’t like Jin. But see I did like him. AHH CONFLICTED. I liked how he wasn’t this overbearing knuckle head who got jealous of every guy Amani spoke to. I just wish there was more to him. He grew on me in book 3. But I was not impressed with him in book 2. Once again I love Sam and he deserves the world. Hamilton has left lots of doors open to return to this world and I hope she does!

Oh, Leute. Ich hatte so hohe Erwartungen an dieses Buch und es war alles, was es sein sollte, und noch so viel mehr. (So viel habe ich seit Crooked Kingdom nicht mehr geweint.) Herzzerreißend und packend und voller Magie und … perfekt. Einfach perfekt.

Esse livro pra mim foi um mix de emoções, não gostei muito da introdução dele pois para mim foi bem arrastada e enrolou demais criando pequenos plots desnecessários. Considera algumas mortes muito desnecessárias, como a do Sam por exemplo. O que foi contrário na morte da Hala que achei muito bem escrita.
Para mim a melhor parte foi a partir do meio, onde a autora teve muitos pontos altos. Mas estou dando três estrelas porque apesar dos pontos altos após o meio do livro ele teve um começo arrastado e algumas soluções fáceis, que não surpreenderam o leitor.

Light read, but the end missed some of the magic that it was building up and was predictable. Still happy I've read it.

Okay it took me a while to read this because I didn't want this story to end.... but this book was so good!!! Just as the other two. The first one will always be my favourite but this one is a close second.

Jin and Amani are my favourite ship ever ever ever. "All that I am I give to you, and all that I have is yours." I sobbed so much at the almost end and my heart broke but I'm glad it turned out okay ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I enjoyed this series quite a bit (lousy editing notwithstanding). This one was a trifle slow off the blocks but once it got going, it moved right along and didn’t let up the pace. The last chapter was really lovely and moving, too.
