“Pain reminds us that we’re alive.”

I really enjoyed this book. When I started this series I wasn’t sucked in right from the start, but I’m glad I stuck with it because I really liked this last book. My biggest complaint with the other books in the series was the pacing. I felt like they focused too much on the mundane things that characters did causing it to get really slow before it finally picked up. But I think the pacing was amazing with this book which surprised me considering that it’s 600 pages. Do I think it needed to be that long? No, but there was never a moment when I thought the story was dragging. It was very much a typical high fantasy book where the characters are fighting the big bad and there’s a lot of moving parts. The highlight of this book for me was Rhy. I liked him before, but this book made me love him so much. I loved how his character, along with many others touched on grief and how to live with it. What I loved most about this book was the ending. With so many characters we got to see many different point of views. It was a typical bittersweet goodbye at the end where the characters we love are splitting up but we know they’ll see each other again. Overall, I enjoyed this series and I’m glad I grew to love it.

TEN STARS. TWENTY STARS. A HUNDRED STARS. 

God, I’ve been crying over that ending for about half an hour. I don’t know how to cope with goodbyes but this one just keeps squeezing my heart whenever I think about it. 

I can’t imagine a more perfect ending. this is hands down one of my favourite trilogies. It’s brilliant start to finish, it has SO much love and adventure and magic, and I love these characters so, so dang much.

Ironicallly, my reviews for the books in the series keep going down whilst my enjoyment rises.
