A stellar read. A thoroughly enjoyable story, finish to the trilogy, and en entire social and theological treatise. Can’t possibly recommend this highly enough; it’s truly brilliant.

Sound conclusion to a really great YA fantasy series. I think I loved book 1 and 2 the most. I think 3 felt a little distant to the rest of the books because it has been a while since I read the first 2 books. That aside, I think the series overall is such a good diverse YA fantasy series for young readers.
I think it’s best for older younger readers due to the really big and dark themes the books explored but I think it’s done in a really accessible way for young readers. It’s a great gateway series that would ease them into adult fantasy, exploring themes such as oppression, misogyny, and lgbtq+ rep (great non-binary rep in book 3.
It’s got all the goodness in fantasy such as sisterhood, quest, found family, animal companion, gods, and a whole lot of cool magic and creatures.
At the heart of the story though, is the classic theme of coming of age and that everyone has a choice in who they become.
If I review book 3 specifically though, I thought that book 1 and 2 were much better. I remember having more bigger reactions to book 1 and 2. This book I felt like I had to force myself to keep reading near the middle. We’re introduced to some new characters/creatures and information/decisions but ultimately this and the ending felt a little rushed. I also understand Deka was trying to grapple with her destiny but her emotions were all over the place it seemed.

I cried so you get points. But at times I was bored. Cut out the middle 100 pages

Overall,
This took me a long time to get through which was no fault of the story just my own mood readingness. When I finally sat down I started over and sped through the whole thing. This is the final book in a fantastic YA series. While dark and gruesome at points there is a really good message about how gods play a role in our lives that really spoke to me. I would definitely recommend this series to others!
