I thought this was a really effective conclusion for the series, and drove home the themes more than book 2. Rin was a complex and interesting anti-hero and this story really flourished the aspects of her paranoia and power hungriness. The dynamics with Kitay Nezha also came to a really compelling conclusion, and its in their love and pain that I found the most poignance within this series. My main criticisms of this book lie in my criticisms of the last one: far to explicit and pedantic battle descriptions explored in favor of more explorations in characters and motivations. I don't really care to what detail you found the ability to make new bullets out of certain materials etc. I'm glad I finished this series but it was pretty difficult to get through what felt like a lot of filler to get to the conclusion.
