I'm so mad at myself that I put off reading this for so long! This was such a satisfying ending to this trilogy, and I think it solidly puts it on my favorite series list! I loved the fighting scenes and the character development especially for Veronyka and Sev was fun to see.
This is also one of the most complex worlds that I've read in a YA fantasy in a long time, there is so much history that just adds to current events. I would absolutely love to see a prequel series about the first Phoenix rider!
I don't want to spoil anything about this series, but if you're in your dragon era I think you would really enjoy this series, there aren't any dragons but the phoenixes are a fun take on the animal companion, rider trope.
I'll never understand why Nicki Pau Preto's books aren't being raved about more, they totally deserve so much love and hype!
