what the hell. genuinely wondering if i was vacation-high while reading the first two books and artificially inflated their scores. the writing just didn't feel as striking as before - lots of clipped sentences in a row, slightly stiff dialogue, SO much passive voice.

The heart-shell plot was stupid and came out of nowhere. the characters felt flat, besides rao and bhumika. even when everything was on fire and the world was ending it just didn't feel tense. urgh. at least the atmosphere was still dreamy and beautiful.

Liked book 1&2 better but the whole trilogy is still great.

I mostly enjoyed my time with this book. Although, my interest in it fluctuated. The book was long and the story was so slow and meandering in the first half. My dislike of the use of so many POVs culminated as more of annoyance at every small and insignificant side character POV chapter.

This was a fine ending to a good series, but this series won’t become one of my favourites.
