All Good Things by Emma Newman
5.0
I adored this :D This is the conclusion to the Splitworlds series by Emma Newman who has quickly become a new favourite author for me with this series. I started this series as my first reads of this year, and I finished it with this. I'm so sad it's over, but I loved the experience of reading it :)
This is quite tricky to explain without you having read the previous books but essentially it's set in a world which is split in 3. We have Mundanus, the human world, Excillium, the prison of the Fey and the Nether which is a magical in-between for Fey-touched. Cathy (our main character) is a Fey-touched who despises the Nether and the way things are there (it's very like Victorian England) and she wants things to change...
This book cemented my love for Cathy as a character becuase she's SO badass in this book. Not only does she prove everyone who doubted her before wrong, who does so in a really damn epic way, and with some amazing feminist moments I just couldn't get over!
What I love about this series is the representation of men and women is equally brilliant. We don't have black and white characters, we have a whole load of flawed grey characters who fall in the cracks of society and are manipulators and the manipulated alike...
The set up of the magic and these worlds totally fascinates me, and I love the way that the worlds ended up, even though I did want SO much more. I would 100% read more in this world or a similar one, and I cannot wait to see what Emma does next becuase this was truly brilliant.
I haven't been giving out many 5* ratings this year... I AM SO HAPPY that this one is a 5* read through and through :D <3
