A stunning end to this saga. This book covers 20 years worth of time in the Kaul family life as they continue their struggle against the Mountain. Whereas I felt the second book sort of meandered at times, this one felt so on point. At no point did I feel like anything could or should have been cut, and if anything I would have loved to see more (especially of Anden and Niko), which is an amazing accomplishment in a book that is over 700 pages long. I loved revisiting the themes of the cost of revenge and what it means to be trapped in a world of expectations set by your family and culture when you don't fit in. I think it's a stunning end to one of the best fantasy trilogies I've read in a long time.
