What an end to this trilogy! I read this whole book in just over 2 days and full on wept as I read the last page. Wow, I LOVED this book. The character growth across the series is great, especially in Mal. The tension and suspense of knowing (or believing) that by the end of the book this intense and violent war will be over but not knowing how really kept me going. I love all the characters. Ugh, I just loved ALL OF IT.
