A review by sheepishly_sarah
Hero at the Fall by Alwyn Hamilton

5.0

I can't remember if I've ever binged a series fresh. That is I hadn't read any books in the world before reading them all straight through. I've certainly reread books in preparation for the final book so I could refresh my memory but this was an entirely different experience. I loved just fully immersing myself in this amazing complex world and reading Amani's story straight through! In the second book, Traitor to the Throne, it's made clear that Hamilton has no problem killing main characters and destroying everyone's happiness. It's made clear very early on that this is no different in this book and I got teary-eyed while reading multiple scenes. I don't really want to talk too much about what happens in the books since it's the final installment but I was very satisfied with the ending. There's a new character I loved because they were so terrible and I was incredibly happy that we finally got to see where a certain Demji half-sibling ended up after they disappeared in book one.
