Honestly, I've never been partial to the last book of a trilogy. Part of it is the unveiling of a new big bad when I just want my loves to be happy and at peace; part of it is knowing that we'll have to say goodbye when it's over. But the repetition of anoshe throughout the last few chapters set a really nice tone, a gentle farewell as the scene fades out.

As for this book in and of itself: I loved watching the Antari trio kick ass and take names as they have been, separately, throughout the trilogy; my heart broke alongside Rhy's as he mourned his parents and yearned for his brother; I smiled at Alucard's quips and sympathized with his pain; and I was absolutely delighted to watch the dynamic relationship between Kell and Lila, ever changing but ever stable.
