well. if i’m still not holding back my tears from reading the last 100 pages or so. phenomenal writing if im being honest, i have to put this series in my favorites now. i felt every loss, every ounce of pain bro.
rereading this one day will be crazy but you’d never expect the way it goes from book 1 and all the growth and changes (and extreme amounts of pain) the characters experience. emotional, but so so good. i hope all these characters continue to find peace. grieving helene and harper. laia and elias forever.

A fitting end to one of my favorite series. Make no mistake, I'm writing this while still completely heartbroken, but I loved this story and I thought the ending was beautiful.

It's almost surreal to have reached the end of a series that you've been following for over five years.
It is, however, especially sad when the book doesn't meet all your expectations for it...
Unlike the previous books in this quartet, A Sky Beyond the Storm felt rushed, the pace and plot almost incomprehensible and the characters' relationships almost forced.
There were so many moving pieces moving across the continent multiple times that it didn't feel.very structured.
The death, conquest and capture seemed almost senseless.
The characters reinforced their choices by using the same justifications over and over for the same issue and it got tedious fast.
Elias and Laia were very badly developed through this book.
A Sky Beyond The Storm, however, did conclude the story well - or, at least, passably well. There were times when I found tears in my eyes and Helene somehow ended up being my favourite character.
I would recommend the series for a binge-read.

I devoured this book, and it was such a fulfilling ending to this saga. This book, and the characters broke my heart in the best way that a good book can.

I didn’t want to read another series based on the Roman Empire, because I was so tired of Rome. But my students picked this, and I am so thankful. This last book is all I could have asked to end the series. The brutalness of war was not sugarcoated, but hope and redemption were never absent. Empire itself is questioned. The writing is brilliant, the plot is brilliant, the characters are brilliant. I read Heir first, not knowing it was a continuation, and so I knew certain plot points must be true…and I still had no idea how they were going to happen, and was no less interested in following the plot. It’s a truly excellent series.

(4.5) i put off starting this book for so long because i was scared and thought i should prepare myself for all the heartbreak. turns out, six months isn’t enough. i could not stop crying for the last hundred pages. i would be mad at Sabaa Tahir for all the pain she caused me—if she hadn’t written one of the best ya fantasy series i’ve ever read.
even though i thought the first half was a bit slow and maybe even a little boring, i can’t rate this lower than 4.25 stars. i will never get over Helene, never.
now this series is over, and it feels like it’s taken a little part of my soul with it.
