Soul crushing is a good way to describe the ending of this series. While the MMC is absolutely morally grey and sometimes gives me the ick, the author still managed to make the story heartfelt. Also, I will be thinking about the magic system for months to come.

This book was really great in my opinion. It is definitely not a book for everyone! Please absolutely read the trigger warnings before going into this book. It is very dark/multiple scenes that may be triggering. Mental health is important!
