This was an amazing conclusion to a series, it really felt more than a trilogy (plus bonus chapters novella) with how much fit in. I see why people relate it to Throne of Glass, my all time favorite series, and this it now right up there with it. This series gave middle eastern mythology, hidden magic, chosen one, light romance, found family, and political intrigue, while tackling tribal wars and systemic racism.
