 An epic conclusion to the Darkness and Fire trilogy.

I will say, the pacing was a bit slower than I would have preferred, but the impact of the ending, and how vivid the descriptions were slid this one home for me. I appreciate how unpredictable the endings of each book in the trilogy have been, including this one. Some of it is predictable, but Amber Palmer still manages to leave the reader guessing and filled with emotions. I like when an author isn't afraid to take risks with their characters.
