I think this was a perfect ending for the original trilogy. I was a little upset near the end, and was rooting for Jacob to pick a different choice but, the way it worked out in the end; all but made up for that.
I love the characters every single one of them. I honestly couldn't choose a favorite. The twists this book had I never saw coming, especially about the villains. If you love/like morally grey villains this is the perfect book for you.
We get to explore new places in the Peculiar universe and we meet a lot of different characters. With so many characters, especially new ones, it can be easy for a character to feel 1 demential and not real. The way Ransom writes his characters makes them feel like real people. Every character has depth no matter how small the character.

As well as I can not get past the age and history difference between the main couple, and every time they have little moments just makes me think
Overall is a good book.

I wish we had heard about the library of souls earlier in this trilogy, because it felt like something Riggs came up with on the spot. It kind of reminds me of how in Harry Potter the deathly hallows were introduced so late, which I hated. Everything we had established about the wights' plans was brushed away as lies and false information. Also, when I look back on the second book, I realize it did almost nothing for the plot at all... we got new characters and developed the original ones, but the one event that mattered to the series happened in the very last chapter of the book and really could've happened anytime before that. Which makes me really not want to reread it in the future.
I'll give this book specifically 4.5 stars but the series as a whole probably a little lower because of the sudden plot change.

I would highly recommend this book and now I’m looking forward to reading Map of Days, hopefully soon but I think I’m going to take a break from this world for a while.
