This is a fitting end to the series. I like Mare’s final choice, though I wish there were more hints that it might go that way throughout because it does feel sudden when  it’s not a feeling she has expressed before. Aveyard excels at writing action sequences that feel dynamic without feeling corny. There’s a lot more political intrigue in this book which I personally enjoyed but I can see how some readers wouldn’t be interested in that. 

Evangeline’s growth was nice to watch and I found her POV to be the most interesting. I could have done without the POVs of the boys though. I don’t think they added anything of value to the story and it made some aspects drag on longer than they needed to.

3.0

Book 1 was Court Politics 

Book 2 was Rebel Politics 

Book 3 was Prisoner Politics 

Book 4 was War politics

We finally made it to the end (if you don’t count the mish mash follow up of Broken Throne.. which I don’t - at least for now). 

This was the longest book by far, and the one that was the least interesting for me. Politics of three nations/groups all battling in secret and in the open, with personal stakes and grudges… it was quite dull. Outside of the scenes where people were actually using their abilities, I found myself feeling scenes drag on way too long, and things were quite convoluted. 

Real world politics does have run in a similar way from my understanding, but I think this kind of a story is not where my interest lies. Give me the action scenes with way less back and forth and I would have been happier. 

Having said that, I think it was a true to story and character ending. Drawn out, but oddly satisfying.
