OMGOMGOMG THIS WAS LITERALLY AMAZING. i would say it is the perfect ending but idk if stars above will have some sort of ending and it would continue on with teh story. BUT SOOOO MUCH HAPPENED can i just say i LOOOOOOOVE all the main characters. like I FUCKING LOVE THE FOUND FAMILY TROPE I LOVE THEM SM. they have my heart. i love their friendship sm. first of all WINTER AND JACIN’S RELATIONSHIPPP AHHHHH. like i will say the romance in this book is definately it’s weakest parts of this series however winter and jacin’s relationship is defo my favourite. LIKE HELLOOOOOO. the scene when he was instructed to kill winter WAS SO CRAZY. like the way they made out right before he was gonna kill her is wild. AGHBUIGHFWOUHGFOAHFG. BUT HE DIDN’T EVEN DO IT. rip ryu tho :((( i defo think this scene was one of my many favourites ugh i cant. also i love the fact that scarlet saved her i love scarlet. i love the fact a girly saved the princess rather than a man. i also loved the fact it was scarlet that went with winter during their hiding. it was funny because i saw scarlet as the seven dwarves because this was a snow white retelling. 
 

 
another thing i loved about this entire series actually was the scenes where they got seperated but they reunite. LIKE I LOVEEEEEE ALLL THE SCENES. especially the one from cress. that one is probably my favourite one. but i loved the one when wolf smelt scarlet and ran to find her. LIKEEEEE. i do think it’s kinda funny how they always bump into each other when they get seperated. like it’s just too conventient and very unrealistic but i don’t care. the fact it happened multiple times in the series is so funny. especially the one from cress where cress and throne happen to land in africa whilst the rampion crew needed to go to africa. but still i love it 
 

 
i love all the characters like- the way thorne is so hilarious but i love the fact he’s so caring about cress, wolf’s very caring about scarlet, jacin is very caring about winter, kai’s an amazing leader and he’s also so caring for cinder. cinder SLAYS, she’s so brave and i love the fact she always manages to escape levana. it’s so funny. like how many times did she escpae before she was about to die? too many times. i especially love the trial scene. THE FACT SHE KILLED A SHIT TON OF PEOPLE AND JUST JUMPED OUT A WINDOW. icon. but i also thought it was too convenient that the gang manages to find cinder in the water. like iconic scene but wayy to easy. slay tho. i also LOOOOOVE scarlet. i love the fact she’s also so brave and a really good fighter. her with that gun is unstoppable. again i love the fact she’s so protective of winter. icon. girlies protecting the girlies. winter is so cute as well. she’s so sweet and amazing and she defo reminded me of her fairy-tale retelling the most. heavy snow white vibes. and again her relationship with jacin slayyyyyed. cress… i mean i understand her feeling certain things because she was isolated from society for 7 years but she is so weird when thorne interacts with other girls. LIKE THE JEALOUSY DURING AT CORONATION WAS CRAZY. like even when thorne was making out with that lunar girl, IT WAS SO OBVIOUS IT WAS GLAMOUR AND IT WASN’T HIS FAULT BUT SHE WAS SO ANGRY LIKEEE. they weren’t even officially dating. the fact she was jealous over iko is so stupid. like he pretended to be interested in the andoroid’s body is so he can give the body to iko. other than that she’s ok- i think she has the least amount of personality out of all the characters. 
 

 
I LOVEEEE IKO AND CINDER’S FRIENDSHIP. first of all IKOOOOO. i love her. she’s so unserious i love her. also the scene where they reunite in the battle and iko tells cinder ‘i love you’ ARGEHOSRGWHG. soooo cute
 

 
also rip maha kesly. rip alpha strom. i didn’t like the fact his death wasn’t mentioned by scarlet. like she was the one giving him orders surely she would say something about his death. not just winter.
