It took 2 books plus another 300 pages but eventually this series became a page-turner I couldn't put down. It was interesting from page 1; I just wish it had been able to hold my attention faster.

I can't express enough how much I love this world, these characters. Brilliant world building, brilliant character work. 

The stakes were high, the sacrifices hurt my chest. The whole thing is simply gorgeous, masterful storytelling. I'm gonna live here forever.

Took me a week of emotional roller-coaster, but I finally read it!

I cried multiple times and worried about those characters way more than should be acceptable. Schwab certainly knows how to make her characters suffer. I can't count the number of times the main characters almost died. It was one hell of a ride, exhilarating and terrifying in equal measures.

I love the world and the characters and part of me is sad it's over, but I'm satisfied with the ending.
