3.5 Stars. I am so conflicted with this book. The world building was excellent but I had a major problem: I didn’t care about any of the characters except for Citra and Rowan, whom we hardly see in this book(or at least that’s how it feels). I found myself really bored by the characters, and yet still, mildly intrigued by the plot. I’m glad for the ending the characters got, but I don’t feel as emotional as I would be, say, if we substituted most of the other characters’ subplots with our MAIN character’s MAIN plots??? Really sad because this was a good book series—and still is. Just missed my favorites in this one. They deserved more screen time. :/

A beautiful ending to this amazing series. The entirety of this was so very unpredictable. None of my theories came even close to what happens, but everything was still believable.

My only problem is that Rowan was not highlighted more.
