This book is the conclusion of a fascinating series that covered so many interesting topics and spanned an entire war between two countries. It delves deep into politics and nationality and prejudice and it was so so captivating. It's two main characters were built up so well throughout the series and I find myself loving them and their story. I love novels that tackle the hard questions and topics, and this series certainly did.
The big reason why I rated this book lower than the second is that I think it tackled a lot of plot points that could have been elaborated on - specifically with Kastor and the Regent. The ending came about pretty quick in my opinion and I think it could have benefitted from a larger page count. Otherwise, this series ending up being so much more than I thought it would be.
