All the characters arcs complete and in such satisfying ways. And not to mention even the marid and shaffit got their dues. I was so surprised by Dara's ending and the alternate epilogue gave me such joy.
I love this trilogy.

It’s been quite the ride, I will say. The length of the book was daunting, and took me a bit to get through, but god am I glad that I did.
I do think this book was the best end to the trilogy, jam packed with twists and turns, action, heartache; never a dull moment, easily. I have so much love for some of the characters, that it hurts to say goodbye to them/this story. But, again, I am so content with this ending.

- Characters: 6/10: De band die ik in het vorige boek met de karakters had, of de verwondering voor de karakters, had ik in dit derde deel van de Daêvabad-trilogie minder. Vaker dan eens stoorde ik me zelfs aan de personages omdat ze er te lang over deden om dingen te beseffen.
- Atmosfeer: 8/10: De wereld waarin het verhaal zich afspeelt blijft super.
- Writing: 7/10: An sich is alles goed geschreven, maar ik merkte wel dat ik af en toe de beschrijvingen van alles oversloeg en me concentreerde op de dialogen om het vooruit te laten gaan.
- Plot: 9/10: De schrijfster is echt een meesteres in het uitwerken van verhaallijnen! Love her for that.
- Intrigue: 8/10: Ik had een tijdje nodig om in het verhaal te komen (de eerste 200 pagina's, bijna had ik het boek weggelegd), tot opeens de geschiedenis van de stad en van Nahri in puzzelstukjes werd blootgegeven en toen werd het interessant. Hoe fascineer je een historica? Begin met de geschiedenis! Eenmaal ik die rode draadlijn terugvond in het boek was ik vanzelf ook meer en meer geïnteresseerd in het verhaal en de huidige tijdlijn.
- Logic: 8/10: Je moet er wel je hoofd er een beetje bijhouden om de complotten en geschiedenis te verwerken.
- Enjoyment: 6,5/10: Ik had echt lang nodig om in het verhaal te komen, ik heb echt passages overslaan omdat het mij te lang duurde maar uiteindelijk heb ik er wel nog van genoten omdat het wel een goed boek is.
