my only critiques with the books is, well, i'm just not a big fan of some of the pairings!! lol, i hated cresswell so bad that i just skipped some of their portions, just hate that dynamic here!! however, knowing the author came from sailor moon fanfic made sooo much sense. scarlet and wolf aren't like rotating in my mind (just cause i was losing it half the time i saw them say alpha and wolf references lol), but holy shit!! they r love...also fucking scarlet is just so good but also ughhhh the fighting everything, even yourself, just for the one you love!! i wish we got more of jacin and winter because where we only had them for a single book, it ran more of a risk of them feeling like instalove, even though they knew each other forever! they have my heart and i just wished we got maybe not a romantic relationship from them, but that's not really the kind of series tlc is. cinder and kai? cinder and kai???? goodness gracious i am soooo normal about them, they're actually amazing.
the pacing itched my brain so much, i finished this book in one day!! it just flies by, and i cannot recommend this series enough. love love love! sad to see it go, maybe another reread in a year or so!

Content warnings at the bottom. :)
Listen, Levana was wrong. She was bad, she killed LOTS of people, and she deserved retribution, but the way they defeated her was just horrible. So she
This book is also like 200 pages too long. The rest of them just kept running and hiding and separating and it kept happening. Twice is redundant, three times is annoying, and four times is fucking ridiculous. Talk about tedium.
And somehow, even with the book being too long, Winter and Jacin’s relationship was too rushed. How can a book be too long and have the main romance be so quick? Yadda yadda, that’s how. Those 200 pages of the same shit could’ve been dedicated to building Winter and Jacin’s relationship.
The one thing that we had a decent time of was the setting, at least. Meyer did a grand job describing the moon and its colonies, which…if you could do it well in this book why didn’t you in literally all the other books? Ugh.
Rating: 3.5
Would I recommend? Not really, unless you enjoy hypocrisy, 16yo moon queens, and long drawn out action sequences.

I will admit it feels slow in the beginning especially with how the last book ended, but it better sets up and introduces us to Winter and makes her a main player in the story now. By a third into the book everything very much starts to pick up again and the story starts to hit the ground running.
I loved how the story line would mix and change POVs weaving people's stories together before once more diverging again. It really kept the pace fast and intrigue and urgency high, and it all came to an orchestrated ending for the book and series. Everything was tied up and concluded nicely but left moments open that could be looked into with the novellas.
