Best one in the triology. The plot and the twists (even though there were hints for some) were so good.
I started rooting for Mal in the start and that put me in a dilemma. Mal couldn't be with Alina until she loses her powers and I didn't know how that could happen without destroying her brain. The ending was perfect.Darkling's death was done in the perfect way.
Thank the Saints (🤭) Alina didn't end up with Nikolai. And thank the Saints he didn't die. I liked his character but there was literally no romantic connect between those two.

A great conclusion. This book has a really nice balance of plot and character development.
The way this story started off wasn’t my favorite but I liked seeing the growing bond and relationships between the characters of Alina’s alliance. It was complicated and heartfelt.
Then, once the plot and action kicked in, I was hooked. There were betrayals, twists, and reveals that had me completely immersed. The stakes were so high and several moments broke my heart.
In the end, the story came full circle in such a satisfying way. There were high and low moments throughout but overall I enjoyed this series!

This was my favorite book of the series! The overall ending & wrap-up was satisfying & not entirely predictable, so I'm happy that I stuck it out. I still didn't really like the main character & there were a few plot points & pacing issues, but it was a quick read & I found myself wanting to know what happens.

imagina que tú mejor amigo nunca te dio bola porque fue el popular y al que todos querían, pero cuando lo hace resulta que te odia al darse cuenta que eres diferente y especial, a tal grado de manipularte y decir que ojalá nunca hubieras tenido el don de invocar
eso provoca que pierdas tus poderes por unos meses (porque ajá te bloqueaste) y cuando lo superas, él se disculpa y te dice que te ama, lo vuelves a aceptar en tu vida y tú siendo la mujer mas poderosa te das cuenta que él es incluso MÁS especial que tú, que todo gira alrededor de él (porque a la escritora se le ocurrió se repente xdd)
esa cosa especial que él tiene, provoca que pierdas tus poderes y ahora te casas con él, te conviertes en dueña de un orfanato (cosa que nunca quisiste) en vez de haber aceptado la propuesta de un REY y ser REINA para nunca en la vida trabajar xddd
