Just because it's the end of our journey doesn't mean it's any less suspenseful or treacherous than the paths we took to get here. In fact, this may be the most intense book of the entire series. Much like Aster, we spend most of this book waiting for the other shoe to drop - waiting to find out when it will all end, and how, or who will be the next person to show us our trust in them was misplaced. Aster is once again faced with the same reality we sometimes have to face in real life: that the people we thought could or would never hurt us can still sometimes manage to let us down in egregious, devastating ways. But what are these moments in our lives if not an opportunity to realize our own inner-strength and an opportunity to persevere?
It’s a lesson in resilience. Self-control. Rebirth and renewal.
I’m saddened that this is where our journey ends. My attachment to these fictional characters is deeper than I thought possible, and the grief I feel over the story coming to a close is surprisingly strong.
