This was the perfect finale for the series. Asha and Rhys were great additions. This book had so much action, and the way it's written places you in the middle of it. I loved the juxtaposition of the intense scenes with comedic relief. All the characters were very fleshed out, including minor characters. One of my favorite aspects of the story was how people on both sides of the conflicts were humanized. It made everyone's decisions seem so much more complex, and it really makes you think about what it means to be human. This book will make you reflect on past conflicts that have occurred throughout history and how we can avoid repeating them. The authors were not afraid to kill people and raise the stakes. The world building was incredible, and you could tell a lot of thought went into it.
