Oh I think book 3 is my favorite out of the three. As always with my YA reads, I remember I am not the target audience and assess them from that view point and Natasha really put her pen to work. 

I question the need for dual POVs but this version really had me thinking, especially in the context of Ketai's actions  

• "What is the moral line in war?"
• "At one point in the revolution do we become our oppressors in the very attempt to uproot them?"

Ketai Hanno really brings that into focus thru Wren as we navigate the resistance side. As Wren learns that she is more than the vengeance machine her father made her

even at the end of the book letting it settle that he was even willing to let her experience being raped by the Demon king to achieve his goal

. It begs the question of it is possible for the oppressed to go too morally far in their retaliation to their oppressors?

And I'm not talking about fighting, the basis of a revolution and resistance is violence; rights and equality irl weren't won in via peaceful measures. No what is examined how much of ourselves can we morally sacrifice to obtain our goal

as seen by Ketai asking Lei to sacrifice herself and other decisions he made along the way

Lei herself also faces her own issues as she realises how skewed the ideology she was preaching in previous books do not hold weight in these circumstances. As she battles with her own trauma paired with the responsibility (and consequences) that comes with being the Moonchosen, Lei comes to terms with how much persons have sacrificed and are willing to give up in the name of her protection

heavy topics with heavy themes and I just loved every second of it

The final book in the Girls of Paper and Fire trilogy! Where I found the second book to be a bit of a drag to read through this book really hit it off.

I found I was a lot more invested in the story and wondering how it will end. It was great to see familiar faces from the first book and how consequences of actions performed across the series catches up to everyone.
There is a lot of excellent moments that grips you for all different reason. I'm glad that I read this book. It is a beautiful way to send off the series.

I have the hardback version and there were a few typos and a couple of sentences that missed words in order for it to make sense, otherwise would be 5/5
