*I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*
The Girl with the Windup Heart was a great finale for this series. I truly enjoyed every moment of this book. I loved that Mila actually became a character that I could connect with, and I loved seeing Jack get his happy ending.

I know these books started with Finley, and I did love her and Griffin’s story especially because they’ve finally admitted that they love each other. It was terribly sweet to finally see them together despite all the nonsense with Garibaldi. Which by the end of this book I was so so ready for him to be completely gone.

There were also some scenes in the Aether with Finley that just made me love this series even more. It really gave closure to some of the characters that had just been hanging around for too long. I loved that Finley was her own hero, and so was Griffin. Despite being willing to die for each other, they each saved themselves.

I really loved Mila and I loved that she added a whole new dynamic to their group and especially Jack. She was just so sweet, but it was wonderful to watch her grow and learn. I loved that she put Jack in his place a few times because he was so cocky that it was sometimes annoying.

The author did a great job of utilizing the Aether in this final book, and it was wonderful to watch all these characters who have matured and grown finally get the resolution that they all deserve. I loved that Sam overcame his fear of the automatons, and that he and Finley finally started being friends on their own.

I can’t sing the praises of Kady Cross enough for creating such a well-rounded series, and while I was incredibly done with Garibaldi by the end he was also the perfect villain. I think this book was definitely the best of all 4 so I would give this 5 out of 5 stars. It was unique, engaging and utterly thrilling. I highly recommend this series!
