this was a very enjoyable series!
there are so many things to like about these books: the storyline was interesting. its a character driven story, and i love that we got characters who make mistakes and aren’t at all perfect. the romance and angst/longing between Anton and Jude throughout the series. i’m a sucker for sister relationships so Ephyra and Beru stole my heart right away. it was all lovely :)
my only problem was the development of certain relationships, and the friendship between the characters as a whole. the romantic interests for Ephyra, Beru and Hassan just happened so fast with no warning or build up. same with the friendships. i mean they were still nice and wholesome, i just got a bit of whiplash with how quickly it was all moving lol
in hindsight, reading the entire series back to back was probably not the wisest decision, only because of the empty feeling i’m getting since i’m completely done and will never see these characters ever again. regardless of the problem i had with this series, i’m kind of sad about how quickly i went through these books. the ending was bittersweet and all of the characters will definitely be missed !
rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The ending was weak.
The series starts really strong in the character building aspect, but it gradually gets lighter and lighter in the next books, which is a problem because by Into the Dying Light I didn't feel much for the MCs and the dramatic/sad scenes didn't hit. The ending in general was a bit underwhelming.
About the series as a whole, I think it could've done with less povs and definitely cut some unnecessary parts, it could easily have been a duology.

wow
i suck at reviews but i will say this, after reading and loving the entire series all i could do was stare into my wall and just think about it. You know the song "For Good" from wicked? the one where they sing :
'Who can say if I've been changed for the better? But because I knew you, I have been changed for good'
thats how i felt after i finished reading the series. anyways i really loved this book and it sort of changed my life

Katy rose pool was writing the first, most random things that came to her head that the end of this book. I loved it.
