It was really good, specially towards the end. The reason i don't give it 5 stars is because the writing style was a bit weird at times and kind of distracting but i still really enjoyed the story
Uff. Final book in a one-of-a-kind trilogy! What a wild ride this series has been!
Market of Monsters is truly very different from many other YA paranormals. A story following morally ambiguous characters maaaybe turning full on villain-y, but do they really? The truth is, not a single character in this trilogy is just good or bad and often you can't really tell even the third book in. (If you don't count the corrupt rich people or black market traders, nothing to question here.) But overall, nobody here was just good or just bad. This YA book gave us less of the hero-or-villain YA fairytale and more of complex look into the world. Not only the morally grey (villain) characters, but also made a lot of important observations about the world in general - power, money, privilege (or lack of it), the way not everone is afforded the privilege of growing up safely or having good parental influence. Nature vs. nurture. The power of information - and the use of information as a means to win the masses on your side and get what you want (a situation where both sides use a little bit of truth mixed with a whole slew of lies to win the public opinion, another parallel to this world?). Forgiveness, vengeance. Safety or the lack of it. There's so many important themes woven into the trilogy and it's reall great that a YA book can contain these things too without being one dimensional.
My favourite instalment is still the first book - I found the plot of the first book by far the best (largely set in the unnatural black market), but the sequels are amazing as well and this last book is a worthy conclusion to the series. I hope more people will give this underrated gem a try. Especially if you want to read something a little bit different.

Boy, am I glad I came by this series. It is the perfect blend of gore, dire situations, the invisible line between good and bad, and "evil" characters that deserve sympathy and pity. Every step of this book, every chapter that I read, I was fully engaged and ready to go on crazy deathly adventures with Nita and Kovit. There is pain, there is remorse, and there is a LOT of severed and impaled bodies! Great series. I highly recommend it if you're into this type of thing.
Fantastic read
Highly recommend this book. I got into this series first on WEBTOON and then had to read all the books. I look forward to seeing the rest of the adaptation on webtoon.
