The Ending Fire by Saara El-Arifi
3.75

I have a lot of feelings about this book. The Final Strife is one of my favourite books of all time and I don't think much could stand up to it. I liked the shorter chapters of this book and multi POV but ultimately it all felt a bit rushed and I would've liked more time to wrap the story up. 

Felt like this release was sort of eclipsed by all the Faebound stuff and not much was made of the book release, which is such a shame because I think this is one of the best and most original fantasy series I've ever read. The handling of the setting, influences and LGBTQIA characters is just fantastic throughout this trilogy and I just hope Saara El-Arifi feels rightfully proud!
