what a thrilling conclusion! i loved this, and was gripped from start to finish. i do think this would be cooler as a visual media, and more effective, but it was a fun series overall and the finale was great.

Sacrifices, bravery, fear and politics. 
That is this book in a nut shell. 
Happy with where everything ended up (minus the utterly unnecessary epilogue…. Ummm, novella please!) and characters were written in a way that felt like an east progression of development and arcs. 
Devastation happened, allies formed and broken, and just basically a hero battle the likes of Avengers End Game. 
I think it does need a novella to make up for the glaring and gaping hole that this epilogue left, but otherwise things were pretty satisfying.

I enjoyed this series as a whole, but this book took me an extremely long time to finish. Thankfully, I was able to borrow the audiobook from Libby and read half of it like that. There were so many revelations that left me with my jaw on the floor. I wish I hadn’t gotten the epilogue spoiled by the wiki but I still liked it. I think the main reason I got into a reading slump was because of how long the book was rather than the content. My favorite scene was the Puppeteer’s speech. Absolutely heartbreaking and shocking. Never expected to read that type of scene in a Marissa Meyer book. Outstanding execution (no pun intended).

I’m glad to have finally finished reading this series. 
The he betrayed her no she him no he her was a bit much. It was predictable and at time very cheesy. 
I’m not the target audience for this.
