I don’t know why I waited so long to finish this trilogy, the final book was epic.
Poor Nikolai. Even Mal doesn’t get off scot free.
The plot twists were all over the place and it made me love the book so much more.
There was never a dull moment although the beginning made me doubt a comeback but Alina sure does.
It’s a good thing I have the other two duologues from this Grishaverse to satisfy me because I want more.

I bitched endlessly about this series when I started but now I'm done with the final book I really appreciate the series as a whole. All the problems I had with the first two books still stand but I guess the good outweighs the bad on this one for me. The ending is so bittersweet I seriously feel like I'm about to cry.
Spoiler
The note from Zoya near the end - You will always be one of us. - nearly wrecked me

Ummm this is more of like a 2 or 2.5 but I actually liked the first half ok so I'll give it 3 stars. Other than the first half I didn't like this lol Mal is still boring and annoying and Alina was also boring in this book???? idk this was a lame ending tbh

“Aleksander,” I whispered. A boy’s name, given up. Almost forgotten.
Here lies the last book on the Grishaverse I love this series but what an awful unexpected vanilla conclusion.

3.5 true rating, but probably my favorite of the grishaverse, though that’s honestly not saying a lot. I have the same issue as I did with the previous two books where literally everyone other than Alina is more interesting. Even Oncat.
But I do think that once her true struggle with Mal comes into play that things start to get more interesting, though I was honestly upset at the typical *~tragic romance~* of finally figuring out that yes, you idiots love each other, but just kidding, it can only be fully realized through *murder*. At that point, I was thinking, “please just kill me instead”.
Luckily, though, I think that the follow-through was great and I loved the after part where they can literally just be normal and happy (and also paying tribute to their “mother” in the best way). A great set up for King of Scars, which I’m excited for since Nikolai is probably the true star of this book (besides Zoya, obviously).
