I’m dead. How do I even start any other book after this one? This series has been incredible so far with the love triangles, the fantasy landscape, and the cast of wonderful characters, but this last book has truly ended the series with a bang.

So many twists and turns, a slightly slow start but once it picks up it is pretty much non-stop until the end. Tears were shed, books were *almost* thrown at walls, squeals were heard near-constantly while reading, and my face looked pretty much like this →

This book broke my heart into so many pieces, I loved the series with all my heart and gave me strong characters I will always be able to relate to and made me believe that one person can change the world, but they cannot do it alone.
I don’t understand the hate that this series, I hold it very dear in my heart, and genuinely didn’t want it to end
