I love getting lost in this world. I’m sad it’s over. Helene deserved so much better than she got. She had the best character development. In almost every single book, she’s pretty much a different version of herself. Best character out of the entire series!

REVIEW FOR FUTURE ME WHEN I FORGET THAT I EVEN READ THIS BOOK:
With 50 pages to go, you nearly gave up from a broken heart. But, LOYAL TO THE END. Not since SJM have you ever loved a series so much. This finished with guts and you respect the fuck out of the author for not taking an easy or happy way out. This book felt truer to war than any others have, and the losses were devastating and pulled no punches. You cried the entire way through the last 100 pages but it was perfect perfect perfect. Adding in all the quotes you highlighted would be impossible and also would make you cry again. A 48 minute standing ovation for the best on grounds:
1. Helene is top 3 FMCs ever written. You love her - ”Despite all I have survived, or perhaps because of it, there is still joy in my heart.”
2. Elias was a pain in the ass for most of this book but there were no loopholes to his redemption - “You are my temple… You are my priest… You are my prayer… You are my release… I wish I could live a thousand lives so I could fall in love with you a thousand times,” he says. “But if all we get is this one, and I share it with you, then I will never want for anything.”
3. Laia was an unlikely hero but her reasoning felt true of being a 20 year old prophecy. Everything with her mother was heartbreaking - “Would that we all knew the cracked terrain of each other’s broken hearts. Perhaps then, we would not be so cruel to those who walk this lonely world with us.”
4. Musa needs a spinoff. This gentle man’s story and the hope he promises to your girl Hel was a salve to the final pages - “Alas.” The Scholar spins me in a circle, then pulls me back. “We’re the ones who survived, Empress. Unlucky, perhaps, but that’s our lot. And since we’re here, we might as well live.”

I will admit that I loved parts of this book much less than others. But it was the ending that earned it five stars. It was a punch in the gut, a slap to the face, and - somehow - very comforting.
But damn, Tahir, why do you hate Helene? I have never read a character as tortured by the author as the Blood Shrike. I just kept thinking that Tahir took it too far. I still think that. I think she deserved better.
