I am surprised by how much I loved this final book. All of the other books I have liked, but I haven't felt as emotionally connected as I expected to be. I enjoy them when I read them, but aren't always itching to pick them up, and there isn't any big emotional impact for long. But it's been intriguing enough and I like the characters enough to continue picking them up. This was an incredible ending. I loved the way Tahir explored themes of justice and revenge through war. What is right and wrong, from so many character perspectives. It was incredibly well done, and this was an incredible book. While I cared about these characters, I left this book really feeling like I love them. It's rare to love the final book the most of the series, and I am very pleasantly surprised by this turn of events.
I will be thinking about these characters, their sacrifices and dreams, the way they continue to learn and grow and try to do what is right, which can be more complicated than they realize, for a long time.

This was the slowest book in my opinion. The last 100 pages were intense though. So well-written as always.

2.5 - Overall disappointed as the first two books were a breath of fresh air and I was very excited to finish the series. Beginning with the third, there was less connection to the characters and speed running plot points which made the story so much less meaningful. The story was okay but could have been so much better.
