Thank goodness Endsinger was more cohesive than Kinslayer. In the beginning I was worried it was going to be another jumbled mess of perspectives. And there were definitely times that it was annoying, and a couple that were flat out worthless. Thankfully Kristoff did something with this book that many don't when they have the final battles, and that was to actually have it feel like a true fight. Too many books I've read recently kind of rush through the final battle sequence and I'm left unfulfilled, and going "That's it?". A couple more positives about this book were twists that left me legit surprised, and the feels at the end.

The Lotus War as a whole was a trilogy of highs and lows. When the series is hitting the high notes, it is amazing and super fun ride, and when those lows hit it can feel like you need someone to throw you a rope to drag you out of it.

In the end, Endsinger was much better than I expected and I battled between a 3.75 and 4 star rating in my mind. As I type this I should be in bed, so I'll go high and give this book a solid 4 out of 5.
