The ending of the trilogy! It was time. It took a while to read because I had started to grow weary of more battles and more obstacles. But in the end they pulled it off. It was sad but satisfying and definitely if someone asked for a BIPOC fantasy novel with a badass femme heroine, these three books will be the first recommendation. I’ll miss this found family but look forward to wherever the author goes from here.

gwennanwrites's review against another edition

I loved the first two books, they were super engaging and fun to read. This one was kinda boring and I never had one of those moments where you forget your reading. I am going to try listening to it as an audiobook because thats how read the first two. I also read the first two a few years ago so maybe I am remembering them as better than they actually are. ( some o the contentwarnings I added where referenced from the first two books)

Thank you to Netgalley and Ussbourne Publishing for a copy of this book.

This final book in the Deathless trilogy brings us back to Otera. The fate of the world is on Deka's shoulders; with the help of her friends will she be able to save it.

This was a fantastic conclusion to the series. I loved learning more about Keita's back story. 

I appreciated the social commentary on the patriarchy, gender and gender roles
