Oh I think book 3 is my favorite out of the three. As always with my YA reads, I remember I am not the target audience and assess them from that view point and Natasha really put her pen to work.
I question the need for dual POVs but this version really had me thinking, especially in the context of Ketai's actions

- "What is the moral line in war?"
- "At one point in the revolution do we become our oppressors in the very attempt to uproot them?"
Ketai Hanno really brings that into focus thru Wren as we navigate the resistance side. As Wren learns that she is more than the vengeance machine her father made her
And I'm not talking about fighting, the basis of a revolution and resistance is violence; rights and equality irl weren't won in via peaceful measures. No what is examined how much of ourselves can we morally sacrifice to obtain our goal
Lei herself also faces her own issues as she realises how skewed the ideology she was preaching in previous books do not hold weight in these circumstances. As she battles with her own trauma paired with the responsibility (and consequences) that comes with being the Moonchosen, Lei comes to terms with how much persons have sacrificed and are willing to give up in the name of her protection
heavy topics with heavy themes and I just loved every second of it
Graphic: War, Death, and Violence
Moderate: Rape, Sexual violence, Slavery, and Sexual assault
Minor: Child death, Pregnancy, Fire/Fire injury, and Torture
