Death must exist for life to have meaning.

Hello??? What was this rollercoaster ride at the end? Is beg your pardon?? Now I really don't know what to feel; Sadness? Anger? Despair? Maybe all at once. My goodness, what that was.

OK, Cintra has grown even more close to my heart and has undergone such tremendous character development that it's incredible (just like Greyson and Rowan) in a word, woahh. She has become so different, but I say this in a positive sense; she became wiser, more prudent and much more rational than she was — thanks to Marie. I'm very curious to see what her fate and Rowan's will be because I can't believe this happened to them. Faraday wasn't featured — not even in the previous book, actually—but it was nice to see another familiar face fighting for the good
(and he doesn't even know that Marie died yet, I'm sobbing)
. By the way, the Thunderhead is still the tip of my heart and I love it incredibly.

The plot was easy to read, although for me, this time it was a bit more confusing than the previous book, probably because this time there were a lot more new threads, information, and plans connected. Basically, I wouldn't have had a problem with peace, but this time I struggled a bit with it because it felt very slow in some places, but maybe that's just my fault. I really liked the wording, it's not poetic, but I don't think that's what we need here, but there were some sentences that turned out beautiful. The end, oh my goodness the end. I don't know how to feel about it, for me, it happened a bit fast, but I understand why it happened the way it did, and I just hope everything will work out.
