Nie było idealnie, ale dobrze się bawiłam. Dla Zofii i Enrique przeczytałabym tę trylogię i sto razy

3,5 stars, rounding up mostly because I just adore these characters.
I think this is the weakest book in this trilogy, and while I actually quite liked the ending, I felt like certain choices where just not very well executed (
Hypnos is still nothing more than a side character without his own proper pov chapters (no, we can't really count those like... three mini chapters he gets throughout the whole trilogy), which is just an incredibly odd choice when we're supposed to believe he's such an important part of the group.
The plot was a little been there done that, the pacing too slow, the finale surprisingly quickly over with. The sometimes confusing writing and world building that didn't bother me at all in the previous books did start to bother me in this one, especially during said grand finale.
Still, there is a lot to love here. The prose is gorgeous as usual and the characters are complex and well-written. Their development is just beautiful. I had so much fun with them and they'll definitely stay with me. The ending is bittersweet and will definitely not be for everyone, but I enjoyed most of it.
This is an amazing trilogy with a somewhat slightly weaker final book, but I still can't recommend it enough to readers who love character-driven stories.

prime example: The relationship between Zofia, Enrique and Hypnos, which is amazing in theory but doesn't really make that much sense because it's never been properly developed in the books.).Hypnos is still nothing more than a side character without his own proper pov chapters (no, we can't really count those like... three mini chapters he gets throughout the whole trilogy), which is just an incredibly odd choice when we're supposed to believe he's such an important part of the group.

The book itself is around 3.5 to me, but the characters are everything to me. I love them so much and I am so glad I read their story and got to know them.
I am a bit disappointed in the ending, but I still have a lot of feelings about it. All in all, a great series that didn't end up being what I wished for it to be, but gave me a beautiful fictional family to root for.
