I think the third installment of the Daevabod trilogy was excellent and satisfying.
The trilogy all together just kept getting better. Recommend.

The best of the trilogy! It sucked me in once I was able to sit down and set aside proper time to read it so I basically read it in two days, the second during which I read like 600 pages (today). I was very satisfied with the conclusion. I can't think of much else to say, but I was especially drawn to Ali's and Nahri's relationship. I love them both. I'm also glad that neither Muntadhir and Jamshid died. I couldn't have expected to love Muntadhir either after Kingdom of Copper. I just love the characters' relationships with each other, I think that's Chakraborty's strong point, in addition to her world-building. It's so much; many could see it as overwhelming, which is a fair criticism, but I think it makes her story richer and more compelling. If you follow along closely I don't think you will have many problems because she ties everything together in this last installment, I think.

I really should have DNFd instead of making myself finish so that’s on me. Least favorite of the trilogy
