I was shook by so much. The ending didn't feel finished, exactly, but I don't think I mind that. As well, the first third or half of the book is kinda repetitive (mostly when focusing on Adua), but I have to give this 5 stars anyway.

Honestly, I'm still pretty shaken from the end of this series, and I'm not sure if my rating will stand, and I know even less what to say about it.
