I’VE BEEN SOBBING SINCE PAGE 402.

The character development in this book—and series—is fantastic. Tyler sheds his goldenboy persona but not his integrity and heroics. Scarlett proves herself to be more than just diplomatic. Kal…that’s spoilers, I think. Auri is…very powerful and is so open-minded. Finian is quick as a whip and I’m very proud of this fictional character. Zila does find happiness. Chooses happiness. 

And Saedii is cutthroat as ever. We don’t see her too much but a certain someone does. 

The story itself was great. I’m a big fan of stories that have an explosive climax. In fact, this whole book felt like one big climax. There was so much going on, so many plot twists, so many “oh WHAT” moments. I read it in two days because I just wanted to see what would happen next. 

For those of you worried, it is a happy ending. I don’t think that’s a spoiler. I just prefer to know before reading books what sort of ending it’ll be so I can prepare myself. Enjoy :)
