I normally write a whole fuckin essay here but I am quite aptly lost for words. No notes. I WEPT. IN PUBLIC. I DIDNT THINK I COULD DO THAT. 

I have a new religion and it's Claire Juniper Hadley. 

Edit: now that I'm capable of rational thought, I do think it's a shame that we don't see as much of Brevity, especially after AotF. Feels like there was a lot of untapped potential there.

I really loved the series and I’m sad that I finished it. Good news is that A.J HACKWITH has a new reader and that I enjoyed their work. I’m gonna miss Rami the most out of all of this but I’m satisfied with most of how the story came about but I might contact the author about some plot holes I found in the story.

There is mentions of death, suicide, violence and war in the whole series so be careful of that.

I loved the first book of the trilogy, two was still really enjoyable but it feels like the finale was rushed and condensed into a few chapters at the end of three. Could have done with a fourth book just for the world-building and the new characters introduced in this one. Ending was good but abrupt.

Oh my heart. I have been utterly enthralled and enchanted by this trilogy from the first page of the first book to the epilogue of the last. I want to say I will miss this world and these characters, but this final installment has cared so well for its readers, I feel they're still echoing around me. A perfect send-off for a series that writes a true love letter to stories and their power in, in indeed beyond, our lives. Thank you, A J Hackwith.
