" To be fearless means to have a heart of steel. "
I finished last night on July 29 , 2021. I have some good thoughts others not so much.
Helene is the true most valuable character in this final book of the Ember In The Ashes series. She isn't good but that's because of forced circumstance.The fact she didn't get a happy ending with Harper.
After everything she had to go through with her whole family being murdered almost made me rip this book up.
This is a good place to say this, screw Keris Veturia. I don't care what she went through as a kid with the Scholars. She did much, MUCH worse to the characters I loved.
The Nightbringer and Mauth just creeped me out for the entirety of this final book. So they did their job but not in a big way like Keris. It felt minimal in the middle through ending of this book even though their ancient Jinn who are supposed reckless. They also didn't deserve their closure but I'm just glad they died.
Laia and Elias happy ending was something I needed to hold on to. For a good majority of Part 3, 4 and 5 I couldn't handle the sadness of lost.
But the love between them was that relationship that made me read to the end. I have invested to much emotion into the relationships of this series not to see at least one couple get a happy ending.
Musa I just have no words for him being there. He is that supporting character that deserves closure. I did need more of him but was happy he stayed. Him and Helene deserve the comfort they can provide each other.
