Whew. I got a little worried toward the end and wasn't sure if I could finish. There were so many plot points to keep up with and I felt like every couple of pages was some sort of mind-boggling plot twist, martyrdom, or marathon between characters racing to the finish before their clock stopped. Ultimately I liked it but I'm glad it's over.

This is the kind of conclusion you want to and 8-books series.
Almost a thousand pages, and at no point does it seem slow-paced.


This book has a lot of war. It can’t really surprise anyone, but as someone who isn’t the biggest fan of battle-scenes, this book is quite heavy on them. That said, the action is written nice, and you can follow what happening quite well. 

The series as a whole deserves the hype it gets! ToG and CoM are a little slow, but from Heir of Fire it takes of, and I’d argue Heir of Fire is only as good as it is because of the ground work and world building laid out in the first 2 books.
I was quite surprised feeling nostalgic for the early books reading Kingdom of Ash. Sooo much has happened to the poor characters!

Over all, a great series, with a final book worthy of all its predecessors!
