Hoooooly cow, what a long one! But in terms of series endings, I'm fully satisfied. This was ultimately so dramatic, bordering on soap opera-y at times, but we steer into the skid and it all turns out wonderfully. In this book we get to wander into themes of social justice and elements of identity that begin to blur the lines between "hero" and "villain", and without it the series would feel incomplete. That being said, we're also slightly set up for future adventures in this world in the epilogue, which I do NOT recommend skipping. Hoooooly cow, y'all... that's all I'll say.
