In the Afterlight by Alexandra Bracken

4.0

Honestly, the first like half of the book wasn’t the greatest but the ending made me feel so sad yet so happy. There wasn’t anything special about the end, just seeing these friends all be together, being able to finally be free, be happy, and be with their family just struck something in me. All of the loss in this book, all of the forgiveness, the pain and regret, I feel like that all culminated well at the end. Where our main characters ended up where they started, both having gained and lost so much. I’m surprised at how I’m feeling right now, I didn’t think I was too attached to these characters but having finished the trilogy and now reflecting on it, I loved them.
