Overall a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy, and a very enjoyable read. I read this very quickly, in the space of a couple of days.

I can't say much about the plot due to spoilers, but there were a few niggles I had overall with the series. One annoyance was just how mustache-twirling-villain the bad guy was - he had little motive other than that 'he could/he wanted to', and I would have liked more depth, more backstory, to understand his motives. I also found the story did drag a little in places, which again led to me rating the second and third books as four stars rather than five.

Overall, though, I did enjoy this and would recommend it and the whole trilogy to anyone. It's got a lot of religious themes, and while they did start to bore me a bit towards the end, overall I appreciated what the author was trying to do.

Siento que en lugar de ser el tercer libro de una trilogía bien pudo ser una historia paralela. Tiene mucha paja, descuida los personajes principales de los dos primeros libros e intenta ahondar en nuevos personajes sin mucho éxito.

Debo admitir que las últimas tres escenas me sacaron las lágrimas bien feo.
No es el final que me esperaba y no es perfecto, pero lo siento muy correcto.
Creo que es un gran cierre para esta trilogía. Incluso el hecho de que Rowan y Citra se conviertan en parte de toda la trama de una manera diferente me gusta mucho, porque es todo lo que involucra al Nimbo: él es la mente maestra, pero necesita de un conjunto de personajes que se desarrollen como él quiere.
El mundo, sobre todo, es lo que me ha dejado encantada y es cierre a valido mucho la pena para mí.
Me da tristeza finalizar estos libros.


Citra es demasiado para mi corazón.
Rowan merecía más que solo sufrimiento.
Faraday será por siempre mi segador favorito.
Nimbo, yo si te hablaría hicieras lo que hicieras.
Siempre es bueno ver a un personaje como Jerico en cualquier libro.

I’m not gonna lie and say that I was really satisfied with the ending, and I think it’s acceptable that there won’t be another book. Because if I’m honest, I DONT WANT THAT UNIVERSE TO GO AWAY!!!!!!

The one thing I didn't like was introducing the pronouns, not even once in the other two books that was mentioned. But in this book they mentioned it not once, not twice but FOUR times.

Queer people need representation, but from the beginning not at the end, felt so forced. Still one of my fave series

I just......... I don’t even know

3.5/5 me pareció maravilloso como los dos anteriores? No.
El final me resultó muy decepcionante pero la trilogía en si es bastante buena
