HOPEFUL... I did not expect to feel that at the end of this book. This story and all it's characters are truly brilliantly done. Sarah J Maas did some great work crafting this. I know there'll be more and it'll be interesting to see them rebuild but this is satisfying, these characters get given the chance they've fought so hard for Bryce and Hunt, Lidia and Ruhn, and all the rest. Beautiful.
