asahome's review against another edition

 A woman must decide between winning battles and winning wars, hearts, and minds. She faces her greatest enemy and realizes that maybe, he wasn’t the one she should be afraid of. 

I think the end of a series is a difficult book to read because you are saying goodbye to characters you've spent time getting to know. I really like how she handled the ending. It doesn't hide from the fact these characters have been fighting a war and there are long lasting consequences to that. It doesn't sugar coat to a happily ever after. I really enjoyed both the series and this book.

Content Warnings

Graphic: War, Death, and Violence

Moderate: Forced institutionalization, Grief, Drug abuse, and Fire/Fire injury

Minor: Toxic relationship and Sexual content

Drug abuse and forced institutionalization:

addicts are forced into rehab before they are allowed to make a decision about their futures

Sexual Content:

there are several scenes with people kissing passionately, but there is no on the page sex; at one point, it is implied because she takes a tea to prevent pregnancy

The toxic relationship is not around those romantically involved, but it is about

Donnelly and Lir

which is around something more than friendship so I chose relationship instead.

Wonderful close to a wonderful series. Dark and emotional, with lots of action. I remain unmoved by Oran/Cala, but other than that every relationship is lovely.
