  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

stuck the landing!! was cynical coming into this book after the tandem reading experience dragged for me (until the latter 25% of the story). despite this, i absolutely flew though this book. 

what an emotional payoff this series lends itself to! a neatly tied bow, makes me want to reread the series to appreciate their journey all the more intensely knowing how it all ends :') 

my favorite characters constantly shifted because they were each so unique and dynamic. 
while i have a slew of criticisms for the book (i.e. if i have to read "tawny eyes", "bloody ribbons", or "rutting" again i may weep), now isn't the time for me to levy them, lol. i really enjoyed this book.
