A lot happened in this conclusion! The most frustrating part was the lack of communication between characters which is a trope used in fiction a lot. Ruby learning to accept herself and her powers was great to read, and even though the action was slow to arrive, it was satisfying when it finally happened. I typically prefer my endings with a nice, if hard-earned, bow, but this was satisfying as well.
