“She wasn’t built to be the savior—she was only a girl afraid of the world, and then Orion had come along to pull her out of the pit she had dug herself.”

I loved this book and thought it was a great end to the series!! I loved seeing all the characters again and I loved the friendships and relationships! It was action packed and fast paced, and I loved it!

trafficking is very briefly mentioned while Rosalind and the others are trying to get to their location. They tell a solider that they’re transporting victims of trafficking to a safe house. No one is actively trafficked but this could be triggering regardless

I'd liked the first half of this duology but then this one dragged on. Did we really have to follow three heterosexual couples figuring out that they love each other and that includes two pairs of siblings?? And maybe up to six different armed factions. I was rooting for them all, but not all the way invested anymore. And for a series with so much around the foreign sector and the Japanese imperialist threat, none of the geopolitics were particularly fleshed out.

Loved the double lives, assassins, and the unique humor of Chloe Gong's books. I just--unforgettable.

My only qualm was that near the end, it felt like things were quickly made up in a way that didn't line up with the story set in place. Not a huge deal though.

Favorite Quotes:

Regret is an emotion reserved for the powerless. There is no need for it here.

Phoebe felt like she was using him.
Well, she was. That part was unquestionable. Friendship consisted of reciprocally using each other with love, after all.

If I am to do some good, then I must make peace with my own limits. I would lose perspective otherwise."

We leave our characters during a period of peace, to continue onward with their lives even if they are soon to be surrounded by tragedy: as we all must do to some degree during our time in this world.
