Absolutely wonderful conclusion to Mat and Ren's story. Their final novella was ridiculously lovely, heartwarming and funny, packed with love, a smidge of angst, found family vibes and the right amount of kinky spice.
I loved seeing Mat step into his role of King Consort: it was a treat; he never loses his bratty, pig-headed attitude, but seeing how far he's come from the scared prisoner of the first book was absolutely priceless.
I'm going to miss being in his head.
Ren was as entertaining and flirty as ever, but he also shows a much more romantic and thoughtfully serious side to him here that I really appreciated.
I'm going to miss these two idiots quite a lot; and I'm going to miss the whole gang as well: from Starling and Parvan to Jiron and Luis and El; even some of the newest entries managed to carve a place inside my heart.
Also, some moments nearly brought tears to my eyes: what a wonderful conclusion to this series.
P.S.: I'd absolutely kill/sell my soul (or some non vital organs) for El's story, and his own shot at happiness. It would be soooooo cool to be in his head; he's such a badass and I think he'd really shine as a protagonist *please, please, please
