The Beauty of Darkness by Mary E. Pearson
4.25
This was such a good conclusion to the series. The pacing in this book was so much better! Definitely held me captivated to the end - I just really needed to know how everything went down!
The romance was very sweet in this book. There were some moments when I wanted to hit one of them in the head for the decisions they were making and scream at them that that wasn’t how a healthy relationship functioned, but Mary E. Pearson did a good job showcasing the growth of the relationship so that their ending was that much sweeter.
Like I already mentioned, the pacing was so much better this time. There was quite a bit of action that went down, and I found myself getting choked up over the fate of certain characters. I was finally able to really connect with them.
There were a few moments that seemed like a stretch to me - certain characters sharing their backstories and all was easily explained, or how the final battle was concluded - some of it just seemed too easy? But I guess with the end of the series, things can sometimes just be cleaned up nicely for the readers.
Overall, I think this was a great conclusion to the series. I was really proud of how Lia how grown as a leader throughout all of the books, and her ending was exactly what it needed to be, which is how a good book should end.
