Loved it! A great conclusion to the trilogy. I felt like everything came together and there were still unexpected twists. Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.

*eArc provided by Netgalley and Orbit in exchange for an honest review*

First of all this was the most exciting arc I could have ever gotten I've loved this series from day one!!

I took my time reading this book because I simply did not want it to be over. The characters up until this point have been through so much. Dont want to spoil any of the plot so all I will say is that this was a rollercoaster. Characters had me yelling at the book. I was gasping. Laughing. Crying. Screaming. The story jumps forward in time from the previous book and I really think it was a wise choice. There were so many lose ends from book 2 to tie up so this time jump really helped that come to fruition. Giving us, the readers, anxiety of trying to figure out what happened during the time we missed as well as reeling from all the choices the characters were making in each chapter. And when I tell you the last 4-5 chapters had me SOBBING I mean it. I could not physically see through the tears it took me about an hour just to read those 4-5 chapters because I had to keep stopping to wipe the tears from my eyes.

Andrea really nailed that ending if you ask me. It hurt. But the last chapter also left readers with just a glimmer of hope. And we may never see what comes after that because its just open ended enough to keep us questioning but also hopeful enough that it felt fulfilling.

Really fantastic series overall and at this point I will read ANYTHING Andrea writes!!! ANYTHING I TELL YA!! <3

The weakest of the trilogy. The first half of the book felt like a waste of time. Satisfying ending though.
