In this finale Amani is pushed into the leadership role when the others are captured and Jin is unwilling to step up to the position. Their numbers are severely dwindled and we are left with a small group trying to escape the town and rescue their friends. They have no idea where the others are being held captive and they do not have the numbers to save them in the event of a confrontation. Instead Amani and her crew must focus on gaining allies before attempting to rescue Ahmed and the others.
Amani struggles with the burden of her role and the decisions that comes with. In her quest to get her people out of the city and on their way to find an army she is forced to make extremely difficult calls and meets a lot of pushback from her team, especially Jin who is focused on saving his family.
This book is more action packed than the second as the team runs through Miraji uncovering the heroes and villains of their legendary stories. Amani shows immense development in her role and begins to accept the burden and responsibility that being a leader means. However, Jin I feel remains an emotionally stunted toddler. I do not think that his character develops much at all and people continue to just let him get away with being a prick.
I love the way the author ties in the legends of the characters as they are told in the future and that the ending was not just tied up in a clean optimistic bow, instead covering more about what happens with the town and the people. This book was far more emotional and there were parts where I was screaming internally and crying externally for the characters.
