The first time I read Kings Rising, the ending had felt a bit rushed to me. But I love the parallels that really come through in this book. All of the DL scenes are perfect (even when Laurent was in his petty era and Damen was going to be every night listening to Mr. Brightside & Do I Wanna Know? on repeat lmao).
The second time around I took a break before finishing the third act and I’ve realised that the ending just feels super abrupt lol.
