Was just grinning and bearing it trying to finish off the series then BAM. The last 3 chapters very nearly took this book to 5 stars. I got goosebumps. FANTASTIC ending to the trilogy. If I went back and read a few chapters of book 1 I wouldn‰ЫЄt even tell you they are by the same author. Bardugo is SO much better in this book with her dialogue, pacing, and storytelling. If the future series get better, then I‰ЫЄm excited.
