I love this series so much, Mia is a great character and the writing style is sublime. It is very bloody and glory, the amount of characters die is wild. Sometimes it was a bit slow but I still read it really fast because it was very enjoyable. I am very close to start all over again and try to see all the little nods to the end.

I think this is one of my favorite series I have read

4/5 Stars

By far my least favorite of the series, but I still sobbed when it was over, and I did love it!

I was actually thinking I would give this book 5 stars like Godsgrave, but the last 100 pages threw me off. The ending was anticlimatic in my opinion, and far too convenient.
SpoilerIf someone dies, it should stay dead, period. Unless you're Jesus XD otherwise, where's the fun/the shock if someone can come back to life? I already knew that neither Ashlinn nor Mia were going to stay dead...that was quite a disappointment and took away the surprise and disbelief I felt when Ash killed Tric in Nevernight.

Yeah, anyway, I didn't like the ending.
Also, I have to recognize that the three main characters didn't left me anything... I didn't root for them, I actually didn't care about what happened to them... I only cared about the minor characters. This didn't influence my reading experience, though, because I still enjoyed reading about Mia being all badass and assholery anyway, but I didn't feel a true connection with her.
Oh well, that's not the first time this happened to me, and I have to say that Darkdawn was all in all a great conclusion anyway.

Incredible finale to an incredibly told trilogy. My first Kristoff books and definitely not my last.

A worthy ending to a compelling chronicle. Other reviewers - the mentions of "the politics were silly, but the smut was top notch" - what books did you think of? For me, it was the Kushiel saga.
