I don't know how to put into words how I feel about this book. Neal's worldbuilding is so expansive without being overwhelming or confusing. While there are a lot of different characters, even new ones not previously introduced until this book, I connected with all of them. The ending was an emotional roller coaster and I basically sobbed through the last 70 or so pages.
It's been a while since a series has moved me this much and I'm already wishing I could experience it again for the first time.

4.0

debated between 3.5 and 4 just because of how dragged out this book was and how it absolutely butchered (in the figurative sense) my favorite character but the rose tinted glasses i have for this trilogy won out. this was definitely my least favorite of the 3 books but overall an enjoyable read!
my criticisms below:
- i am Thoroughly disappointed in how goddard dies. not nearly enough pain and fear and suffering endured before he was killed. no repercussions for his actions either, he was just never brought back.
- also i found the thunderhead's magical workaround in creating cirrus a little too.. simple?
- and lastly my god look how they massacred my boy. my poor baby rowan was nothing more than citra's loverboy in this book. captured, escaped, captured, escaped, and when he finally had citra in his arms? boom dead sorry dude you gotta wait another 117 years to be with her! horrible, give the man a break!!

I enjoyed this third book more than book two. The twists were more intense. I am not sure how I feel about the ending yet. The plot of this particular book is so random, I. Not sure if I love it or not. It is definitely going to sit with me, and on that basis alone it gets high marks. It is original, and very well thought out.

Wow! What an excellent series! I was shocked by all the twists and turns! My one complaint is the book moving all over the place from different times, here to there. Other than that, it was great!
