Such a perfect ending to the series. For as much as the second book dragged, this one truly made up for it. I loved having insight into more characters’ perspectives and I think it

made the deaths of certain characters even more poignant

. I cried my way through the last 20%. 

V. E. Schwab is truly such a talented fantasy writer. I am so glad I picked up this series.

Definitely my favourite out of the trilogy!

I'm very appreciative of how Schwab keeps track of consequences from past books and follows through on them. Wounds, especially emotional ones, don't heal overnight and play an important role in character reactions and decisions. 

I thought the plotting for this book was excellent and I loved getting to see so many players from all three worlds. I also think the ways each character arc ends is quite good; I don't have any gripes about it. In fact, I really like that the end acknowledges that distance does not break certain bonds.
