And, I can't believe it's finally over! This was my favorite in the trilogy by far! My only complaint was that the last 70 pages or so felt a little rushed in comparison to the rest of the trilogy, but, other than that, I loved it!
I loved that everything from the first two books was brought together and that the best of both worlds was present. I was in awe of how the author managed to keep everything together across so many pages and how she managed to gently recap the first two books so nothing was forgotten or missed. I found myself laughing and smiling and tearing up the most during this one, and I definitely finished it the fastest. This one alone makes the trilogy worth reading, and I can't wait to reread it in the future.
