I, like most others, think Etienne deserved better. Hugo also deserved better.
But what an ending to this trilogy that I have loved since it's beginning all those years ago. The rollercoaster ride of emotions, the action, the intrigue.
I never wanted it to end.
I cannot recommend this series enough. For all lovers of sci-fi, those who love Les Miserables, for those who love dystopian action packed stories filled with despair, hope, betrayal and of course love. This series is for you.

The ending was unsatisfying and I found the characters' arcs to be frustrating at times. I enjoyed a lot of the book but was just unhappy with the route that it took in the end.

This book is so hard to rate honestly. Because the first solid 60% of it dragged, the pacing was so slow, it didn't feel like the last book in a high-stakes trilogy. It felt like it was setting up a series. Even when things happened, it didn't FEEL like things were happening, if that makes sense. The last maybe quarter or so of the book definitely took off and the action happened so quickly, one after the other, that I was at the edge of my seat, reading as fast as I could. But that doesn't really take away from the slowness of the majority of the book. Ettienne definitely deserved better. I'm a little frustrated at the end of the book (the epilogue) because while Between Burning Worlds introduced new, important characters, and Suns Will Rise made them into major characters (with their own POVs), the epilogue shoved them away in favor of the original characters which was annoying. eye dee kay, I have complex feelings. I did enjoy the series, and it was exciting, I just expected a little more out of this last book.

This book was a fabulous wrap up of this beautiful retelling of Les Miserables. I adore these characters, the references to the original story, and how it moves forward for the people of LaTerre. I am definitely gonna have to reread these books because they're so beautiful.
I am writing this review through tears. Wow. This was good. Throughout the System Divine series, the plot has veered in some areas closer to the original plot of Les Mis and in others more toward its own path. Going into this much-anticipated finale, I really didn't know what to expect, but I needn't have worried. My expectations were exceeded by an ending both so like Les Mis and at the same time totally different. I was very happy with how almost every character's story was ended.
My one real complaint is that I thought those of the main characters who did not have chapters written from their point of view were left out a bit more in this story, especially. However, I was very happy with how it went for a book with a larger cast that had a lot to get done in 700 pages.
Suns Will Rise is a spectacular ending to my favorite book series, and I would (and do) recommend it to anyone who is even remotely interested in the plot and genre.
