5.0

The last of the Nevernight Chronicles. This took me a long time to get through but it was not a slow read by any means. I really liked this one and was very happy with how the series ended. All the relationship growth was excellent and the plot was fast paced and interesting. While the series as a whole may not be perfect I still really enjoyed it and would definitely read it again in the future. I fell in love with so many of the characters and get adequately invested in their fates through the novel.

My main critique for the entire series is the leaps in Mia’s luck. I don’t care how good someone is this girl has dodged soooo many figurative bullets it borders on un-believable. That being said I am happy not focusing on that and enjoying it for what it is.

Also, while many do not like the footnotes I enjoy them and was amused by the authors/narrators comments. I also liked the book in the book moments creating this world with blurred lines between the novels reality and our experience with it.

Overall I give the final novel and the series as a whole 4.5* and would recommend to anyone who enjoys fantasy.
