My heart? Broken. My brain? Swimming.
What a well rounded, tragic, yet satisfying ending for this trilogy. More thoughts in the morning for now I'm going to bed.

Ruin and Rising had a pretty good ending and wrapped most things up. Mainly it got me excited to read the King of Scars and Six of Crows duologues. I would definitely recommend this series, but book one was easily my least favorite.

My heart is full of sorrow and ecstasy at having completed this trilogy. It completely shattered my heart and then pieced it together using the broken shards. It has taken its place among my top three favorite fantasy series. The characters in this series really spoke to me and I loved them all, especially The Darkling and Nikolai Lantsov. I did not see the ending of this book coming, I was not even close. It brought a great deal of sadness to my heart and at first I was absolutely miserable, but then I realized it was the perfect ending for the series. Now I’ll just have to patiently wait for King of Scars.
