I loved the world of Orïsha and Zélie's journey until...this series took a hard left and seemed to stop being about Orïsha and Zélie at all. There are bits and pieces of this third installment that I enjoyed (Amari's queer awakening, of course, and the intriguing-but-hard-to-picture vine world of New Gaia) and overall I am glad to have read an ending, even though it was not a particularly fulfilling one.
