Three and a half. The saga ended in a satisfying way, and there was plenty of excitement all along the journey. But there was, in my opinion, way too much talking and thinking things over.
This book was the worst in the Trilogy and an utter disappointment. It was full of slow parts. Even more disappointingly, the character relationships all lost any sense they had. Jason and Rachel's relationship by the end of the book made absolutely no sense!
I know that Mull respects Paolini and considers him an influence, but he definitely should not have copied the ending of the romance in the Inheritance Cycle for this book. I'm so angry at it that I almost considered giving the book a 1 star just for that reason alone.

Wonderful ending to the series. Despite the fact that I read the other two books at least a year ago, I was able to recall most of what happened. Great ending, great emotion. It would be nice to see another book in this world with Jason's daughter as the main character as seen in the prophecy.
Walaupun butuh waktu hampir sebulan untuk menghabiskan buku ini, tapi begitu membalik halaman terakhir rasanya puas dan lega.
Kehilangan, pengorbanan, pertempuran, dan persahabatan yang ada dalam buku ini bikin merenung, tergugah, haru, dan juga ada perasaan sedih (a.k.a baper)
Ah, pokoknya suka banget deh sama trilogi Beyonders ini. Om Brandon Mull, anda keren dan aku menanti karya selanjutnya

I think I liked this one best of the trilogy. I listened to a good portion of the books in audiobook format, and while the narrator did a good job, I had a hard time getting into it. I don’t know that I would have had the patience of it wasn’t a way to keep myself alert when driving. The final third of this book, I read myself, speeding through. It was neatly wrapped up, nothing left wanting, but definitely leaving room for a follow up series if wanted.

The beginning was slower than I would have liked it to be but 1/4 of the way through until the end were good paced and wrapped things up nicely.
This book really held up on a reread. The stakes constantly felt high, the characters were great, the deaths meant something, cool villains, great plot twists, etc, etc. This book was a great capstone to the series!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rereading this, it's obvious how much the orantium thing is built up. There are a lot of times people are like "if only we had a huuuge amount of orantium" and whatnot. We also see the Maumet (which I think is awesome btw I love that fight) do a ~big explosion~ and stuff like that. Not that the mountain location was foreshadowed, but the power of orantium and how much of a role it had to play was.
LOVED Nedwin's last chapter - I forgot that plot twist and I loved it.
Rachel dealing with the torivors & Maldor is a great scene too, that girl could've killed Maldor on her own (w/ the torivors), orantium or no orantium. Anyway, I loved this book and this series. It's full of great characters and worldbuilding.
Best: How I as a reader really felt the deaths ( AND ALSO FERRIN NOW THAT I REMEMBERED)
Worst: There's quite a lot of Rachel going "hmm is the prophecy real or isn't it we're all doomed oh noooo" Fortunately, at the end she does something finally and it's really cool.
AAHHHH I FORGOT ABOUT FERRIN AT THE END I LOVED THAT SCENE AND THAT SPEECH SO MUCH THAT WHOLE SCENE WAS AMAZING

A creative series, I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had read the first two books more recently. He tied up lots of loose ends without being too repetitious, which I appreciated, but since the earlier books weren't fresh in my mind I struggled to sort it all out at times. I was satisfied with the ending, even though it wasn't happily ever after for everyone.
