i can't believe in the year 2025, i finally finished a series. round of applause please.
in all seriousness, this was a great ending to a great series. it did tend to feel really lonnnnnng but if i sit and think about what needed to be taken out to make it shorter, i come up blank. it felt like every action, every event, had a reason.
i wish we got more personality from jacin, i felt like his character was never fully fleshed out. and i feel the same way about wolf. i felt like all other male characters were fleshed out except them, they were just caricatures of their character.
i'm unsure whether or not i want to read stars above, i think if i ever want to revisit the series, i'll definitely read that first ♡
also series side note - i still can't believe marissa meyer thought it was a good idea to have thorne be 20 and cress 16 and put them togethe
