You will sob. The ending of this trilogy, especially the last few chapters, is great. I couldn’t imagine a better way to end this story. Fuck, seriously, I am emotionally drained and forever traumatized from reading these books, but damn if it wasn’t a good fucking time—even with the tears and loss.

i’m so glad this book ended up being more than just an epilogue. it ties everything from the first two books up so so well and any questions you have get answered. 
cecelia is also such a badass in this one. she just continues to grow throughout the books and i love that she didn’t just immediately forgive tobias, even though that led to a ton of angst.

As much as I hated Tobias in Exodus, I do empathize with him a lot more after finishing this book. The middle dragged a little, but seeing how much growth happened between Tobias and Cecilia was beautiful. The Finish Line was a great way for me, as a reader, to have closure with all of the characters I’ve grown to love so much. The Ravenhood Trilogy has officially been placed on my all time favorite books list.
