I had a great time reading the final installment of the trilogy although a part of me didn't want it to end.
Even though I enjoyed reading about the characters, what I found most fascinating was the world. And apparently this trilogy is part of a bigger series. So I checked the other books of the author and before this trilogy, there is another book that introduces us some characters that appeared briefly in this trilogy.
Anyway, there's another duology after this trilogy that is about a couple of characters that were mentioned here so I'm excited to read it and know more about them and the world.
I liked Harlow and Finn a lot. Sometimes it was hard for me to connect with Harlow, but she was a strong heroine and I admire her for her bravery. As for Finn, I want to protect him at all costs. He was portrayed as this serious and powerful character, but he was such a softie when it came to Harlow, and his past is so dark, I want tl hug him and tell him he is amazing.
The rest of the characters stole my heart as well. The big family they formed was so beautiful, I want to be part of their family as well.
I wish there were chapters told in Finn's POV. I think they would have helped me in being more in love with Harlow and Finn, as well as the story in general since I would have experienced it all from two different point kf views, which I love. But other than that, everything was great.
I honestly think I need to reread these books to make sure I undertood everything because I have the feeling there were things that I didn't get.
