I quite enjoyed this conclusion to the Warcross duology. 
Emika finds out new information, there is more danger and more intricate mysteries that she needs to figure out. 
Emotional and heartbreaking at times for the characters. I will definitely read this again 
TW: Murder, gun violence, drug abuse, suicide, kidnapping

I'm not sure how realistic the ending is and it probably went too long. Even with this extraneous ending, it didn't go too in-depth into the resolution of the main trauma that the book was focusing on. Felt like there was much more the characters needed to process in the extensive effects of that trauma.
