I thought the format of this series was really unique and engaging, and the plot was great. I do feel like the writing was poor and the format took away some aspects of books that I often really enjoy though, such as character development. The writing felt like it was written by a gen X or millennial trying to appeal to a gen Z audience, and it felt kind of inauthentic

Overall a fine conclusion to the story. As the story goes on it feels less believable and was easier to guess what would happen. I was still invested in the main characters but I was ready for it to just be wrapped up. I would have loved a little more of a peek into life afterwards for everyone.

It was a very compelling read, and there was lots of stuff I liked, but the themes were very dark and made the tone shift sometimes discordant. Most triggering book of the series for me.

Honestly, this was an amazing ending to an amazing series. 💜💜💜
This was another absolute emotional roller coaster of a book. It was an epic journey. 
I loved the characters (expect Ben Garver, he was an asshole 90% of the time), the story, simply everything about this book and this series. It was so well crafted. 
Simply put: this was amazing and I loved it.

A great ending to a great series! These books were consistent throughout with a satisfying ending.  You got to see some of the old favorites come back in book three along with a new set of characters that were just as intriguing.  The depictions of hard decision war forces on people were incredibly well written.  Overall, a top tier set of books!
