This one was brilliant! There was lots of action, it was fast paced, the re-romance blossomed beautifully and the issues between sisters was dealt with really well. A fantastic, FANTASTIC end to the series.

Review to come, but oh my feelings!!!!

This conclusion to Born Wicked and Star Cursed was everything I wanted it to be and then some. Days later, and I'm still not emotionally over it. I want to take a quick second here and thank Jessica Spotswood for such an amazing trilogy. Not only did she write a beautifully heart wrenching book, but did you know that she's also awesome on Twitter? She does a lot of interacting with fans and is super sweet so go follow her. Now, back to the book.
What I liked: Girl power to the max! There is so much rebellion and ignoring of the gender boundaries, and these girls can do anything. I love it. The Brotherhood (our antagonists) are deliciously evil, but I loved seeing that there were some good ones in the midst of it all. Which brings me to our group of rebels. Cate has my heart forever and ever as you all know, as does Finn (don't even get me started on my love for him because it does not end), but I want to give honorable mention to Alistair Merriweather. He starts out as an absolute tool, but totally redeems himself by the end of it. And there's something about him being a truth crusading journalist that adds to my liking of him. Plus, I totally want him and Rilla to end up together (short story epilogue or something like that pretty please?!). Rilla. My hopes that we would get more Rilla in this book were answered. She's my favorite character in the series. There's just something about her, how she speaks her mind and is stubborn and everything.
Now for the plot. Gosh, that plot. Talk about a roller coaster of emotions. I was laughing, and swooning, and crying... and more crying especially at the end. All my questions were answered, and everything flowed so naturally. I was heartbroken at the end, but also a bit happy? Like, I couldn't see it ending any other way.
What I didn't like: Nothing. I liked everything.
I wish I could go on for days about this book. Unfortunately, there aren't enough words to do it justice. So that just means that you have to get yourself to a bookstore and buy it (or start from the beginning) as soon as humanly possible. On your mark, get set, go!

Fudging Maura. Still hate her. Kinda. Ugh. This damn book. Even though it's been a while since I had read Star Cursed, when I started this book, all those feelings came right back. A sign of good writing in my opinion. (Along with making you cry or shouting obscenities around toddlers.)
The pace in this book is much quicker than the previous two, which is probably why I read this book in only a couple days.
While the ending doesn't exactly wrap itself up in a nice little bow, there is definitely a cute ribbon. You see where the characters and story are heading, and I think that suits the story the best. While I wouldn't have minded a few more concrete details, the openness of the ending felt natural and realistic.

At the end of BORN WICKED, I immediately put the book down to grab the next. At the end of STAR CURSED I screamed and threw the book across the room. At the end of SISTERS' FATE, I clutched the book to my chest, unwilling to let it go. A fantastic end to a fantastic series. Heart-pounding, feels-inducing, tear-jerking, yet completely satisfying in a genuine way. I will miss these characters so much.

This trilogy was amazing!
Born Wicked by far is my favorite in the series, but they are all absolutely amazing.
I'll say there were some parts that could be predictable but reading as much as I do, it's hard to find surprise twists anymore. I would recommend this book to anyone and although it's not my favorite series - it's a close second.
