loved coming back to this world and all the complex issues this author tackles with the fantasy elements. we see our characters struggle against their faith, and what it means to be good and evil and also battle against what fate has decreed for them. i especially loved the ending and the hope it left for the characters

This book (this trilogy!) has absolutely changed me. I haven’t ugly cried and outwardly sobbed in a book since I was a teen and this book had me breaking in the most beautiful way. The characters are detailed and compelling. Their lives are complex, heartbreaking, joyous, and fated. Roanhorse doesn’t shy away from an appropriate end to a characters story and I appreciate her commitment to realism in her fantasy. Queer and gender diverse characters exist so naturally in this world, it makes me long for a past, future, and present more like it. And gods, how refreshing it is to have an all brown-skinned fantasy world. I can’t wait to read this again in a few years time.
idk about this one. the first two in the series had so much promise but this really really fell flat. there was both too much and too little plot? and things happened too slow and too fast? overall disappointing.

One of the best books I have read in 2024.
The last few chapters of this book were VERY satisfying, but I don't know if it was worth the effort to get there. As much as I adored the first book in this trilogy, books two and three had some serious pacing issues, and the ending felt pretty anticlimactic. Also, I really need these adult fantasy authors to recognize that their readers who are actively reading the books as they come out may not remember every detail of the previous book, and slipping some subtle reminders of what happened to who in previous books into the current one would REALLY help readers to reinvest in the story.
Roanhorse is a fantastic writer and I really enjoyed the unique elements of this fantasy world, but overall I'm left feeling a little detached and underwhelmed by this finale. In the future, I may try to read her work only once full series are completed, so I can read the books one after another.
