I felt relieved after finishing this book. I can now read a different one. 

Almost dnf'd but I kinda liked the plot and the world is great. Good thing I liked the ending. My problem is there's too much happening but no emotional build up with the characters. I haven't feel any attachment to them (except Aefe my girl 😭) and there's not even chemistry between the main characters.

4.5

Compared to the first two books in the series, this one was much harder to get through, both physically and emotionally. However, that doesn’t make the stories or journey any less interesting. It is everything I ever wanted from Tisaanah and Max, even if the journey was long and brutal. I feel like this series puts ills of the world, like slavery, war, colonization, etc. and puts it in a context that shows it in multiple aspects. And I love seeing the main characters learning about themselves as they navigate these issues. The world feels so full and alive. I’m kind of sad to leave it.
