I really enjoyed this on its own and as an end to the series, but I think I may have enjoyed it more if I read the series closer together. Also infuriated that Laia is constantly described as having gold curls but the cover shows her with super long straight black hair.

I AM BROKEN. 

This is possibly my favourite series ending and definitely rivals Reaper for my favourite in this series... it was just so well done. I felt ALL the emotions reading this finale. 
While this series is very plot driven, you just get so attached to the characters through the books until you are a crying mess over things happening in the finale to characters you love. Not entirely surprising though since Sabaa is a wizard of words. Her writing just always has me at the edge of my seat and I had such a hard time putting this book down to sleep or work... 

I love that even though there were moments to show the humanity or suffering of the characters that we hated, there was no real redemption for them. For any of them. They were all real people, some who did absolutely awful and horrendous, unforgivable things. And others who made mistakes, did awful things to survive but ultimately did good in the world, too.

While this might not be a favourite series of mine, it is definitely one that will stick with me for the characters, the writing, and the little lessons that I picked up throughout it.
