Into the Bright Unknown by Rae Carson

4.0

4.4/5 stars, full review to come! I do just love this trilogy a lot, so it's hard for me to totally critique this book when the characters and the lore are so close to my heart. I think there were a few weak points in this finale (the plotlines of the POC characters, for one, and the slightly sloppy "reveal" of how the mission was pulled off in the end) but it certainly did not ruin the series for me. I love Leah so so soooo much as a main character, and I love her whole "The world is not fair, so it's our job to make it fair" mentality. It was also really important to me that in this book she had friends explain to her (and also some realizations of her own) that sometimes how you go about helping people is more important than your good intention, because doing so the wrong way can only cause more trouble. Also: the romance!!!!!!!!
