The final book in a series like the Grishaverse always hurts, but this one hurt more. Maybe because I was saying goodbye to a host of characters, each from their own books that I've read and their lives I've lived. Some have suffered, some have turned out better or worse or both. I'm glad this book allowed me to say farewell to each of them. It was definitely a jam-packed ride filled with tense situations, but they honestly kept me hooked to every page and desperately wanting to know what comes next. All the characters were resolved nicely towards the end, and for sentimental reasons I'm giving this four stars. I know I'll definitely return to the Grishaverse soon.
