Sad and Tragic but also Hopeful and Nice at the end. Artyom is absolutely a tragic hero. The finale to the trilogy really shows how if you give humans their basic needs you can pull cloak and dagger and they won’t question you.
It is like trying to understand the mind of a mad man, and at the same time, understand the different societies in the Metro, that he is trying to navigate through. Nothing makes sense, and my will to read has withered like a flower in draught.
I have the utmost admiration and respect for the message of Metro 2035 and the rest of the Metro series: that the truth is always worth fighting for, and that the courage to accept this fact is essential in the pursuit of freedom—both personal and societal. It's a kind of bravery that I think echoes through much of the Russian literature I’ve read and I deeply admire it.
That said, as a novel, Metro 2035 did feel like it dragged at times. While the beginning and ending were strong, much of the middle seemed to contribute relatively little in terms of world-building or momentum. I also found the poetic language and distinctive style that I’d so enjoyed in the previous two books to be somewhat diminished here. So although the final book’s message and social commentary remain sharp and relevant, it didn’t quite match the earlier entries in terms of reading enjoyability for me.

I liked it, i can't say i didn't, but i wish it continued with mysterious stuff from the first book, like mutants and that Book from the library . For what it is though, i think it's good. 4.0 stars from me
