I had no clue where any of this story was going, but I was gagged multiple times. I loved the characters and just their interactions. The relationships are so good and heartwarming. The ending of this is not at all what I expected. I enjoyed the plot of the second one, but the character interactions more in this one. The first one is still the best. I just love the different histories and myths we learn about.

I loved this series when I read the first book but this third one was a bit of a let down compared to the other two. Even so, it's a great wrap up to this trilogy and I don't see how else Roshani Chokshi could have concluded the series without pisses off the readers.
Roshani Chokshi's writing has improved fantastically over her past few books so this was a solid piece of writing. The heist was action packed, the descriptive language was vivid but not overdoing the purple prose. I love the cast of characters, the found family dynamic, the reconnections and new friendships built, the strong character growth and more.
I did feel like some of the characters got off a little too easy for some of the out of line shit they pulled in all three books but these characters are clearly beloved to Roshani so I didn't really predict her putting them through more trauma than they've already been through.
A solid conclusion!
