Going into this last entry in the Crescent City saga, I admit I was a touch worried. I watched many people say that they were disappointed with how the book ended. Most people rated it on the lower end of the scale ....
And then I read it and absolutely, completely loved every single page.
Hands down I'd say it was my favourite of the three. Maybe because it ended the story perfectly. Maybe because I felt that the series built well to the showdown. Or maybe it was because I was so invested in the outcome and the characters by the time the third book rolled around. Either way, I can say completely that I loved it and wouldn't change a thing.
I don't want to say too much and put my review behind spoilers, but let's just say that Maas didn't make the outcome easy. All of the characters were put through the wringer. But new and old friends brought it all together. And even at the end, you know that what their future holds will be far from easy.
Now I need to go read ACOTAR ... anyone who's read it knows what I mean because the only thing I've read from Maas is this series. I guess I need to get my butt in gear and read the other series!
