The ending was weak.
The series starts really strong in the character building aspect, but it gradually gets lighter and lighter in the next books, which is a problem because by Into the Dying Light I didn't feel much for the MCs and the dramatic/sad scenes didn't hit. The ending in general was a bit underwhelming.
About the series as a whole, I think it could've done with less povs and definitely cut some unnecessary parts, it could easily have been a duology.

wow
i suck at reviews but i will say this, after reading and loving the entire series all i could do was stare into my wall and just think about it. You know the song "For Good" from wicked? the one where they sing :
'Who can say if I've been changed for the better? But because I knew you, I have been changed for good'
thats how i felt after i finished reading the series. anyways i really loved this book and it sort of changed my life

Katy rose pool was writing the first, most random things that came to her head that the end of this book. I loved it.

Well this series came around for me by the end, it has a solid conclusion.
I did finally realize what the writing style feels like: it reminds me of novelization of TV shows or movies, where you're like this is a lot of telling, when it should be showing.
One of the few things I've ever read that I think would be better as a series or a movie, because the author spends so much time explaining the obvious or telling us what is happening instead of just letting it unfold through visuals or dialogue.
Also, just for me personally it was interesting to encounter some Marcion theology in there

“He’d never let himself miss anyone before, but with Jude it hadn’t been a choice. It had just been there, the fixed point around which the rest of his thoughts turned, the rocky shore that his heart crashed into again and again.”

“Maybe that is selfish, but it’s also human. And that means it’s worth holding on to.”

“Love is human.”
“And it is divine.”

I don’t think this series gets enough attention that it should. It’s not a mind blowing trilogy but it is a solid read.
Specifically recommend this for those that are newer to multiple POV and/or YA fantasy. You have some love and some hate for certain characters, the world and magic isn’t to hard to grasp, and it’s just a simple, fun, read.

Vuelvo a empezar que esta plataforma no tiene borrador y me lo ha borrado todo. Simplemente que empecé esta trilogía con una idea en mente, la cual era muy lejana de lo que realmente encontré. Y, al final, he terminado encariñándome de ella de todas maneras. Sí que debo añadir que el libro tiene intentos de plot twist que no terminan sintiéndose así, pero son añadidos con suavidad y lineal, de forma que simplemente los aceptas. Y también porque para esas alturas todo se ha ido tanto a la mierda que solo quieres una miga de felicidad para los personajes, de los cuales ya te has encariñado y solo quieres que estén a salvo y felices. Y aunque me haya encariñado de todos, Anton siempre tendrá un lugar especial en mi corazón (y Jude, pero no vamos a meternos en esa sopa).
This is what I would have wanted. [...] A house. A garden. Crickets to lull us to sleep, and birds to sing us awake. A home. And you.
