the editing in this book could be better, but the story and characters are just SO good that i was able to pretty easily look past that!

There aren’t many books that make me read hundreds of pages within a few days, but I absolutely devoured the final book in this trilogy. There was just a lot of great stuff - complex characters/world-building, intense emotions, surprisingly funny moments. I especially loved the epilogue. I’m going to miss this story and have no clue what I’ll read next to fill the void.

5.0

This was a heartachingly, beautiful, epic conclusion to the War of Lost Hearts. 
I never could decide which side of the conflict I actually stood on. Everyone was so morally grey. No one in this book was free from sin or mistakes, but everyone wanted to accomplish something important and worthwhile. I sympathized and understood both sides. There was no obvious "villian" and that made it so much more.
I cried so often, my heart feeling like it was constantly breaking. There was so much pain, raw and real. 
I don't want to spoil anything for anyone but if you've read Daughter of No Worlds and Children of Fallen Gods then this end is EVERYTHING. 
And if you are finding this book and wondering if this series is worth a try, it absolutely is! 
Max, Tisaanah and Aefe have a special place in my heart. This book was absolutely amazing!
