I would give 10 stars if I could. One of the big things I really liked about it was the ending. Done so masterfully, so perfectly, just with the elements I love. It ties back to a main object from the first book, it gives us plenty of explanation for what happens after Cinder becomes queen , although one thing I would’ve liked seeing more of was Winter’s progress after having the gadget installed, and it fills you with so much hope and happiness. Every single one of the 827 pages was worth it. My new favorite series. The first book was definitely the most comfortable and cozy one, this was the adrenaline packed grand finale that this series needed.
