3 hours 30 minutes - This was a well-written, engaging conclusion to the series. It contained good plot-twists that seem to come out of nowhere but make sense once you think about it. The characters mostly seem realistic, although there were times where I felt some improvement could be made.

I liked this book better than the last books! I couldn’t put it down, and stayed up late reading it, and it only took me 3 days to read it.  I was completely immersed in it, and I could imagine the action in the book as a movie in my head while reading it. I would  recommend this series. It is easy to read, but not cheesy or childish. It is so creative. But I much prefer the SOC series and would highly recommend that series, but this one is good too.

I loved the ending. The orphanage was the perfect place for Mal and Alina to live after faking their deaths. I’m so happy for them!! “They had an ordinary life, full of ordinary things—if love can ever be called that” ahhh I’m so freaking happy for them. AND they took in of Misha!! Aw!! Mal was so good with him and now they’re like his parents awww. And they’re taking great care of the orphans!! I also loved that Nikolai made it so that if you are tested positive for Grisha powers, then you can choose whether or not you want to go to the Little Palace! I love Nikolai. And when the Grisha (like Zoya, Tamar, etc.) gave Alina a blue kefta and said “You’ll always be one of us” my heart melted. If I could cry to books I would’ve cried so many times.

There are a few descriptions of murder/death that are a little gross, but I would say this is like PG-13
