A review by cupiscent
The Unconquered City by K.A. Doore

4.0

A satisfying conclusion to this trilogy, as epic and yet personal as each of the novels have been so far. Each of Doore's main characters has been a wonderful conglomerate of strengths and fractures and needs, and Illi is no exception - the trauma she carries from the finale events of the second book is terribly understandable, and understandably terrible, and the book does an amazing job of exploring how that trauma cannot be denied, but also doesn't have to define her. AND the book does that while having a rollicking adventure plot and some fascinating magic exploration. All the things! All bundled up together!

A great piece of fantasy fiction overall. I am very much looking forward to what Doore does next.
