TW : mention of past rape
Well, here it is I finished the series...
It was really good as a whole, I loved the characters and their development, I loved seeing the nuanced point of views and even though I hate him I thought seeing Will's pov was super interesting and showed how not that easy it is to just put people in the "bad people" box and be done with it. He is horrible but he also somehow has a big heart when it comes especially to Sophia, who would have guessed.
He deserved a worst fate though.
I still really think this series should have had much more intersectionnality : we need more talk about women of color ESPECIALLY as there's a lot of talk about slavery in this... On white people only.
Also, where are the queer people?
There's a few things about the ending that bother me, but that would be a spoiler. I do think other people's opinion were never taken into account and it was always all about Cathy's feelings and England's problem which made it a international solution but... Did you even as if those international people wanted or even needed your help? I'm not sure they did.
It's still a 4 stars though of course because it's still a very important subject, to tackle patriarchy and feminism and civil right movements and environmentalism and capitalism all together (because yes everything is linked of course. That was great to point out).
I wonder if we will get a book 6 one day... It does seem open and it would be interesting.

A fairly satisfying end to the series, although I would have liked some more info on how magic and technology are going to interact now, and I thought Beatrice's plot line was underserved.
