This is my favorite book of the series! The build up to the final climax is amazing. The romance and intimacy in the book is stunning. Genuinely one of my favorite fantasy books/series.

What a fantastic conclusion to an epic series.

I had to put the book down for a few weeks after Anisa died, but I’m glad I picked it back up again. I needed to know how the journey would finally end.  And the loss of so many characters really hit me, but the loss of Anisa for whatever reason hit me so damn hard. 

I loved the relationship between Kell and Lila finally getting somewhere! And likewise, Rhy and Alucard were similarly easy to root for. 

I’m also surprised at how much I came to love Holland’s character throughout the course of this book.

If you think bout it, the first book is Kell’s book, the second book is Lila’s, and this book is Holland’s, and I was rooting for him so hard. 

I’m gonna have quite the book hangover after this incredible series. Thank you, V.E. Schwab, for being an incredible author and for taking me on this adventure. 

Anoshe.

I love this series, these characters, and Schwab's writing but
I didn't care for the sheer number of character deaths. For almost all of them I found myself asking "Was this really necessary? There was no way to write yourself out of this?"

brilliant ending to a brilliant series. i’m actually freaking out from how amazing this last book was and the emotional rollercoaster it put me through. first off, i was actually really happy to see this story being told in so many perspectives and i loved how schwab brings up an adventurous and harrowing experience in a beautifully written way. following kell and lila through this finale was way too much fun and im truly sad that this series has now come to an end :( i will miss this so much!!
