a terrific ending to an amazing duology!! ifueko did such a spectacular job with the sequel, i dont think i could have asked for more bc that conclusion was everything i had hoped for!! 😩🤌 
it had all the elements that made me fall in love with raybearer, the found family aspects, the vivid descriptions, the characters and of course tarisai!! whom i somehow managed to care for even more??! she is such a beautifully written character, following along on her journey, seeing her go through the things she did, face the world and her own demons, tarisai is hands down one of my favourite ya heroines!! 
also can we talk about the ace rep?? bc it was perfect and it made me SO SO happy!! 
IF YOU HAVENT READ THE BOOKS YET, YOU ARE MISSING OUT!!
