This last book was so action packed I had to take breaks to digest all that was happening. I absolutely love how all the plot points paid off (be it negatively or positively towards Vasya) and with this final book, the ending was done beautifully.
I love how Vasya's character evolved throughout the books and how much more self-aware she became in this last one. This was a wild series that has become my all-time favorite. The characters are unique, human, feel real. The fantasy element was weaved in beautifully and was outright terrifying at times (the upyr). There were stakes, mistakes, and consequences. I felt I couldn't rest until I knew all three siblings were safe. Their relationship was also done so well and has been my main point of praise since book 1. In conclusion I highly recommend this series!
