4/5. This is what I was waiting for! So happy I’m ending this series on a much higher note than where I started with it. The perfect balance of action and backstory! Absolutely loved finally connecting with the characters and things actually felt high stakes! Holland ended up being such an amazing character. Not sure if I need more from this world, but happy that I liked this book so much

4.25

Loved this series!! This was probably my least favorite out of the trilogy (and it was still around a 4.25 for me), but I think that was partially my fault for waiting so long in between the first two to read it. I had a harder time getting into the story, but once I did, I was hooked. I loved seeing more of Alucard, as well as Holland and Rhy, in this book, and it was an overall satisfying read and conclusion. Schwab has such engrossing writing, and I already can't wait to start The Fragile Threads of Power because I adore Lila and need more of her!

It took me entirely too long to read this series. And now that I finished the last book I feel a hollow void! I wanted it to keep going. What an amazing series.

Always and forever a Holland stan.

Incredibly satisfying ending to an overall great series! I was so happy that Holland, my absolute favorite, got more attention in this, though I wish he’d been more of a focus in the series overall. (In my opinion he was far and away the most interesting character to read.) Lila was /slightly/ more bearable but still grated on my nerves. All members of the Maresh family had some great moments and wonderful arcs, though I wish there had been more of this in the other two books. I give ACoL 5 stars and the series as a whole 4.
