This book was amazing -- and I loved the entire series. The characters, the worldbuilding, the plot, the actions and the fight scenes, and all the emotions it made me feel. I love this series spanned over twenty years and showed a few different generations.

But of course what truly grounds this story is the family drama centered around the well-realized Kauls. Hilo, Shae, Anden pass through so much grief and growth that made it impossible for me to hold back tears of pride and sadness by the end - and in this novel, they're joined by the younger generation (Niko, Ru, Jaya) who made the most of their limited screentime to attach themselves to my heart. I love the sense that this family exists after the pages end, we were simply lucky enough to observe their dramatic turning point. Anchored, of course, by the indominable Kaul Hilo, who will linger with me for a very long time, in all his forms - the seductive, hotheaded himbo of a Horn; the vengeful grim young Pillar; the wise and grief stricken father who was nonetheless all of his past selves combine.
Far do your enemies flee, Kaul-jen, and may the gods shine favor on No Peak.
(And Fonda Lee, for sharing the tales of this family with us)

This was phenomenal. What I particularly liked about this, is the fact that we follow our main characters well into their late 50s, early 60s and how their attitudes towards the Kekonese clans, expanding business abroad and what thw best way forward is. There's absolutely heartbreaking parts that end up bringing balc good to the communities.
What stuck with me most, was that we ended the Trilogy like we began. One of the No Peak Greenbones meeting there relatives for Brunch at The Twice Lucky.
Just please go read the Trilogy. Of you're into political intrigues, politics, action packed fighting scenes and keep-you-on-the-edge-of-your-seat twists and turns, the entire Greenbone saga is for you.
Can we please get this adapted to a series?
