I am broken.
This is the perfect ending for this trilogy. R. F. Kuang nailed the true situation of war, the famine, tragic deaths, chaos, betrayals and loss. It's brutal right from the first book to the end. I'm just quite disappointed with the Trifecta arc because it was hyped up so much and the ending didn't measure up to the build-up. Other than that, the character arcs here are one to applaud. Especially Kitay, he stole the show. He's the heart of the trilogy, the ones holding everything together.
This trilogy is one of my best reads this year so far and one I will keep thinking about from time to time.
