Ay, MI CORAZÓN. Lloré, terminé con el pecho apretado y tuve que quedarme un rato mirando el techo, procesando lo que acababa de leer. Y si eso no dice lo mucho que me marcó este libro, no sé qué más decirles.

De verdad que GRAN final para lo que fue una GRAN trilogía. Robert Jackson Bennet se ganó su puesto entre mis autores favoritos de fantasía de todos los tiempos, porque puta que sabe escribir una buena historia. No solamente logró hacer tres libros individualmente espectaculares, sino una trilogía coherente y redondita. Y ustedes saben qué hay pocas cosas que me gusten más que las historias redonditas.

The Divine Cities creó un estándar de lo que espero en mis series de fantasía de ahora en adelante. Y la vara esta ALTA. Sé que seguiré pensando en esta trilogía durante mucho tiempo y Shara, Mulaghesh y, sobre todo, Sigrud, siempre estarán en mi corazón.

Ahora discúlpenme mientras me voy a llorar un ratito más para botar todos estos sentimientos.


An excellent, if not fully satisfying, end to the trilogy. Darker than I'd hoped, but always interesting and well constructed.

This book ended me. I didn't think I could be hurt anymore after City of Blades but man was I wrong. City of Miracles was a great end to an even greater series. I didn't realize going into these books that they would follow the main trio over many long years. You don't often see that done but it really, really worked here. It added more meaning to everything that happened, everything Shara, Sigurd, and Mulaghesh worked for. And despite how devastating the ending was (RIP me), I wouldn't have wanted this series to end any other way. I don't think it can. Anyway, please read the Divine Cities trilogy and have your soul destroyed in the best way possible.

this trilogy was so good. i loved that each one focused on a particular character (stairs: shara, blades: mulaghesh, miracles: sigrud), and the ending had me teary eyed. poor taty, poor ivanya.

i borrowed this books from the library, but i enjoyed them enough to want to buy them for my personal shelf. this is a rarity.

A perfect ending to a miraculous series. Will stay with me for a long time.
