A very nice conclusion to Raihn & Oraya’s story. While the pacing of the books was rough (especially in the middle), I did like how it concluded. The beginning of the book with Oraya deep in grief was also hard to get through. She spent a lot of page time in the same thought process. I desperately wanted to move on. 
People looking for a blend of Underworld, Hunger Games, and ACOTAR will enjoy these books. Carissa is very good at hashing out her characters and making you love them.
