A really satisfying conclusion to this series, having come in years after it wrapped. The loose ends were tied up neatly without feeling forced. I do look at the treatment of Winter and her mental illness to Cinder's prostheses and, while understanding that Levanna is a major factor in how Winter is being treated, I still do feel some kind of way about the way Winter is treated. I can let the specifics of her mental illness pass by saying it's a novel condition given quirks of new biologies, but I still question how those parallels stand, as someone who does not live with hallucinations.
