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 thought this was a really good ending to the series! I wish that we had actually seen a little more of the Elias/Laia interactions throughout the series because I feel like they didn’t actually get to spend a lot of time together before they fell in love and were separated.

I absolutely loved Helene and Avitas and I so wish we got more of them. His death hit me the hardest cause he might not have been perfect but he was so sweet to Helene. I hope she finds happiness because her character arc was incredible and I feel so bad for her.

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.

It started out kind of slow and I was struggling to keep reading it but IT ENDED UP BEING SO GOOD!! I loved how Elias and Laia’s relationship developed and ending fate of the Soul Catcher. However, rant in the spoiler :///
