4.5

There are some specific plot things that did not work for me in this book regarding how certain arcs regarding various antagonists were resolved. But honestly, this is minor because I was very impressed by how this book took Spensa's journey over the last 3 (very diverse) books, and managed to tie her character arc together extremely well. I found her reflections and growth from the first book to be strong and poignant, and so despite my plot-oriented criticisms, I give this book higher marks
