4.0

The way the trilogy ends is perfect, those final chapters were impossible to predict and all the stories in this world ended up connecting in one way or another without losing meaning.

Even though I felt that in the middle of the story it was stagnant and there was a lot of recap of the previous books (even this book itself), the final resolution ends up taking the credit for everything.

The characters evolved with the problems that arose in the world they lived in along with the decisions they made, something very important in such a huge story. No one was forgotten, everyone had their focus time to appreciate them, love them and miss them.

It will take me a while to get this world out of my head and I will never stop thinking about the influence of “The Lord Ruler” on it from the first book.

La manera en que culmina la trilogía es perfecta, esos capítulos finales fueron imposibles de predecir y todas las historias de este mundo terminaron conectando de una forma u otra sin perder el sentido.

A pesar de que sentí que en medio de la historia estaba estancada y había mucho recap de los libros anteriores (hasta de este mismo libro), la resolución final termina llevándose el mérito de todo.

Los personajes fueron evolucionando con los problemas que surgían en el mundo que vivían junto a las decisiones que tomaban, algo bien importante en una historia tan enorme. Nadie quedó olvidado, todos tuvieron su tiempo de enfoque para apreciarlos, amarlos y extrañarlos.

Tardaré en quitarme este mundo de la cabeza y nunca dejaré de pensar en la influencia de “The Lord Ruler” en él desde el primer libro.

⚖️: 4/5
