Well, I finally worked up the nerve to read what I knew was going to be a devastating wrap-up to a really amazing series. I ended up giving this one 4 ⭐s, and it took me a few days to write my review because I couldn't really quantify why that was. It came down to the fact that we got to the last 20 or so pages and there was still so much more to wrap up! And then the ending happened and I was like !!!!!! That was a choice that was made! πŸ₯ΆπŸ˜­β˜ΉοΈπŸ™„πŸ™ˆπŸ˜– I really feel like this one could have used a little bit more time to fully flesh out the ending. But then the thing that happened probably wouldn't have needed to happen soooooo? My bookstagram friend Traveling Cloak's review does a really stellar job of drilling down into a critical lens of this book, if you're interested.
