I think this book was a great ending for the trilogy with a LOT of plot twists and turning points, which I really enjoyed. There was no boring part in the book and I even wished that it would have been a little longer hihi. Overall, great storyline, great characters, great world and I love that the characters stayed true to themselves till the end, maybe some of their ideologies or feelings changed but their personalities stayed the same. Great trilogy, would definitely recommend. Am not ready to say goodbye to the characters yet😢

This book tied up a lot of elements that were weaved through the first two books. There were some twists I wasn’t expecting, and some questions that were answered. It was a decent ending to the trilogy.

I always wondered why Meyer chose Honey Harper, a character with control over insects, as one of the main villains, but it made more sense in this book.

The epilogue:
I could tell immediately that the voice was not Nova’s, but it somehow took me until Magpie saying Max was cute to realize whose POV I was reading. I just thought that was really funny. I enjoyed the last chapter being told from her POV instead of Nova’s. It began and ended with Magpie at the parade, which felt like a nice full circle moment. Also, I loved the reveal that Magpie is Evie.


The ending:
Personally, I like the idea that everyone is magic in some way. That ordinary talents- like someone being a good cook, or some else being good at bonding with animals, are actually little signs of magic. However, I find myself wishing that the story had ended with them all losing their powers instead of all being superheroes. I mean doesn’t them all having literal superpowers defeat the purpose? Like anyone can be a hero *without* literal superpowers.
