My Review

Thanks to NetGalley for an arc. (even though I'm reading it late) 😅

The first thing I will say is: Lani did an amazing job making sure the readers remembered what happened in the first and second books. The second thing I will say is: may Lani Forbes rest in peace. 

I don't want to go into too much detail as I do not want to spoil anything that happens in the first two books. 

This was a great ending to this trilogy. Unfortunately, I didn't love it. It has the main thing I can't stand about final books. 

The final fight at the end just ended too quickly and not enough people died. This series had the potential to be one of my favorites. It just didn't do it for me completely.

I did like the epilogue that gives us a glimpse into the future to show that everything is still changed though!
