This book detailed a very fitting end to a great series.

SpoilerThe ending quite bittersweet but just sweet enough to be happy for our couple.


However, noticed myself getting a bit tired of all of the interjections about the world in the form of monologues that Novik includes in between the characters' dialogue. I'm not sure if I would've been as bothered by this if I hadn't read a review about this particular feature of Novik's writing. But because I had, it was in the back of my mind every time it showed up and began to get tiresome.

Anyway, still a great series and a lovely end to this trilogy. I will miss El and Orion.

Naomi Novak really brought it with this one. It’s a beautiful book and a beautiful, well-articulated, complex story. I love it! I do wish she would’ve had the main villain die though 😬

So much plot to wade through. I just wanted to know how the series ended.

Me ha gustado mucho la verdad, aunque me falta qué pasa después, terminé la última página pensando que todavía había más por leer.
