The roller coaster that readers are taken on in these books is so well worth it in seeing all the pieces fall together. And knowing the characters have given everything and continue to strive for better.

I was stunned by events more than once by this delightfully complex story. A lot of loose threads from the previous two books were picked up again and explored further and woven together into a fascinating tapestry.
The world building in this series is complex and rich, the most thorough I've read in a very long time.

This is a story about how love and belief can blind us, and even though this was obviously mostly a fictional world, I could relate it all too well to the reality of our world.
Very well done series and characters, it kept me on my toes and I just kept praying everything would be okay when I couldn't think of a way out.

All the characters arcs complete and in such satisfying ways. And not to mention even the marid and shaffit got their dues. I was so surprised by Dara's ending and the alternate epilogue gave me such joy.
I love this trilogy.

It’s been quite the ride, I will say. The length of the book was daunting, and took me a bit to get through, but god am I glad that I did.
I do think this book was the best end to the trilogy, jam packed with twists and turns, action, heartache; never a dull moment, easily. I have so much love for some of the characters, that it hurts to say goodbye to them/this story. But, again, I am so content with this ending.
