What an epic end to an epic series. Read this series if you want the characters to feel real to you. I say this because they are all extremely morally grey; sometimes driven by ego and other times duty. I am heartbroken by the series end as well as how it ended, however, I also know that this is the only way it makes sense. It was inevitable, but still there’s that part of me that wishes there was some sort of miracle. I’m still processing, and probably will always be.

Incredible ending to an amazing trilogy! The pacing in this book was excellent, and I felt like there was good balance between battle scenes and everything else happening. Please read trigger warnings!!
