I really wanted this to finally be the 5⭐️ for the series but alas it still did really good!
It’s hard to review the good and bad bits of this book without giving spoilers so this is going to be a pretty vague review.
Good things:
-the feelings 😫 Let me tell you multiple of my reading notes contain CAPITAL LETTERS cause they hit me in the feels. You really get to see the two relationships that have been blossoming for the whole series fully bloom in this book and it is SWEETNESS.
-by the end I think all of the characters had redeemed themselves in my eyes. I wasn’t left with any characters I disliked (apart from the ones you’re suppose to dislike)
-I still really like the level of fantasy in this book/series. Whilst there are some pretty out there magical elements it’s easy to follow and doesn’t really require any world building. So for a non-fantasy reader like myself I think it’s a great starter
-the epilogue was a nice closer to the whole series

Cons:
-I can’t believe I’m saying this but it needed to be longer. I felt the ending came around too quickly, too conveniently with so many things happening in 6 or 7 chapters that I didn’t actually feel emotional connection to any of the events happening and didn’t really process any of it
-whilst I didn’t dislike any of the characters by the end there were definitely a few I still really didn’t see the point of. They just didn’t feel to me like they added to the story at all.

Overall the series gets an average 4⭐️ so I think that’s pretty good!
