  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

After real consideration, I think I am not giving this book 5 stars because of Ithan and Tharion. It just felt like they were making the same mistake over and over again, and it just got really annoying after a while, and it felt like they were not learning from their mistakes. 
The overall story was fantastic, and the development of Bryce and Hunt, her ability to use her powers at 100%, and the fact that she had to find the missing pieces to her powers was a great way to flow through this final book of CC. It was a great plot twist taking her into the ACOTAR books and being able to show that there is a bigger storyline around Nesta and what she can do, and obviously, there is a lot more going on in those books. 
The intermingling of worlds is obviously nothing new because we see what that looks like in the Throne of Glass series and how easily they can do that. 
I think overall this was a great ending to this trilogy of CC.
