The ending of The Crown of Feathers trilogy has come to an end for me. I am very glad that this book was put on my radar, and I finished it this year too! I tend to read book one of a series, and then forget about it, and have to read book one yet again before reading a new series. It's a problem I am trying to fix, and I am glad I gave this trilogy the time it needed.
Honestly, this is the ending we needed, but the ending I wasn't sure we were going to get. I remember Veronkya mention that it's only been a year since the start of everything, and it's honestly shocking as I assumed this would have been over a longer period of time, but it does make sense as well. 
Overall, a great trilogy and I cannot wait to see what Preto has next for us!

 I can't begin to tell you how pumped I was for this book. I didn't even want to read the book's summary, I was so ready to just dive in. With the last couple series enders I've read being a bit disappointing, I probably should have had a bit more apprehension going in, but with my re-read out of the way (and two amazing audios enhancing my experience) I was eager to see what the shadows had in store for me...

Overall, this is my new highest-recommended fantasy series. I just can't stop pushing it at people on Likewise or Facebook, and I'm definitely adding them to my gifting list for birthdays & holidays (as soon as the paperbacks come out). The diverse and intricate characters, the uplifting and relatable themes, and the fantastical and well-developed setting all combined into an endlessly engaging and emotional series which I will love to visit again and again. If any short stories or continuations ever come about in this world, which I wouldn't consider completely outside the range of possibility, I will pounce on them in a heartbeat. As it stands, I'm eagerly awaiting any future projects (2023?!) and updates from the author, and will be singing this series' praises for quite some time.

[For those interested, this series is also being made into a webcomic on WebToon. It's not yet through the first book, but it does look to be a fantastic adaptation so far. So be sure to check it out here: Crown of Feathers

Awesome conclusion to an awesome series! This series has been a favorite of mine since day one. It was filled with amazing characters, had an intriguing plot that had many twists and turns, and had exciting action! 

I loved how in between chapters we often had excerpts from the history books that would have existed in this world. It was a great addition to the story! It really made this world seem more realistic and intriguing. 

The stakes were definitely raised in this book and I was often on the edge of my seat. Highly recommend this series!
