Because I do not know how to give more without having nothing left for myself!

The review contains spoilers!!!


So, I'm starting this review with the fact that I haven't written review for the previous two books, which I don't think is a big deal, because that way nothing affects my review (I know it's weird that I start from the end haha). I won't say that it was an easy journey, because each sister grew very close to my heart and it hurt to let them go but it was definitely worth it because it was an incredible experience for me.

ARABESSA BASSETTE 


Arabessa was perhaps my favorite so far and not only because I see a small part of myself in her, but because she did so much for her family that there are no words for it. As the eldest, she carried an incredible amount of weight on her shoulders from a very young age. Honestly, I don't believe that she was born to lead, rather she was born to rule. That's why I'm glad that she became the Thief King just like her parents, she deserved the throne, she deserved the kingdom and the power, she deserved everything. There was much more uncertainty and struggle in her until she reached the end than in her sisters combined and she even persevered for what fate intended her to do, even if she had to sacrifice her soul for the throne (or her hand) she did it, for herself, her family and the for love.

ZIMRI D'ENIEU


Well Zimri. Can I say that I could drown him in a spoonful of water for being so blind? I mean, I loved him a lot in the beginning, but towards the end, the betrayal he did, well, maybe Ara forgave him, but I still need time for that, I know how much he loves her, I really do, but he hurt me too much to know clearly now appreciate him.

THE OTHERS


Kattiva Volkov, she was a very interesting character and a real wild spirit who has no limits, in a word I loved her, at least I loved the friendship that developed between her and Zimri.

Dolion Bassette, i love him so much but really, he is great father (besides almost sending his oldest daughter to her death) and a great husband (seriously now he can literally give up years of his life to see his wife Johanna again) he makes my expectations sky high. In any case, no matter how angry I was at him, he really deserved rest and retirement, he got/took over this kingdom from his wife and ruled it even though he had to face every single minute how he got here, in short, I'm sorry for what he had to go through.

Niya and Larkyra my flame and my songbird. They really are the tip of my heart and I'm so glad that they found their way, but they didn't reveal for a minute where they came from. There is a kind of relationship between the Bassette sisters that those who don't have siblings (in this case I have two, because we are triplets) can't understand, but I do, really, because that's what I live for. I suffered with them and rejoiced with them, because honestly I myself would do anything for my sisters too.

Ahack my beloved. Ahack carried the whole thing on their back, I'm surprised they didn't complain that their backs hurt haha. I love their character, they were always there when needed and helped when there was no way out, without them I don't think any of the sisters would be where they are now (especially Niya) without them. For me, they are the slightly weird and funny, mystical, but big-hearted aunt/uncle in one body.

The plot itself was easy to follow and was structured in a logical way, the time jumps were not disturbing. The wording was wonderful. 

This world is worth a visit for everyone once in a lifetime, because it's really amazing, so if you haven't started reading these books, hurry up and do it! And if you've already done it, it's time to read them again!

RANDOM NOTE


The author commented that she is open to a sequel starring Johanna & Dolion, in short omg I can't believe this is happening, it's really all my dreams. I love them and can't wait to get to know them better!
