If this is the end, I'm quite devastated – I want more!

I enjoyed reading this serious immensely. This book feels a little more convoluted than previous installments, but it has some wonderful character interactions that are both amusing and satisfying. Overall a great end to an excellent series.

An excellent end to the series, these last two books combine to make a tense, high-stakes duology within the greater series and they’ve been a highlight for me. Rorra cemented herself as one of my favorites of the series. Again Wells impressed me with her sheer creativity, the ruins and cloud wall are like nothing else I’ve ever read. Sad to be leaving this world but I’m sure I’ll be checking out other books in Wells’ back catalogue

I feel obligated to write a review for this book because I loved this series so much and I'm so sad to have finished it, and to leave the Three Worlds. Wells does something truly exceptional with the worldbuilding in this book, and the construction of so many unique and interesting fantasy races. If you love immersing yourself in new places, read these books. The journey of Moon going from finally finding where he belongs to truly feeling that way is excellent, without sacrificing the plot or adventures along the way.
