This is a masterpiece. Dabos is a unique genius, her world building is probably the best I've ever read. The narrator of the audiobook also is amazing I enjoyed this story more than i could if i read it myself. This series is not for the faint of heart, requires dedication and persistance, but its worth everything. I wish there were more ophelia thorn moments.

Not as enjoyable as the others. Maybe I'm too tiny brain but the plot thickened a little too much for my tastes. The pacing also felt a little stop and start, with the final few chapters having EVERYTHING and lots of the earlier ones really dragging. Still enjoyed it though!

What an incredible, messy story with so many interesting and twisted characters to follow! I'll keep this series close to my heart for a very very long time.

I hold this series dear to my heart. The concluding novel was complex, adding even more details to the world that haven’t been fully developed in previous novels. This made the material more dense that the others. Initially, I was heartbroken with the ambiguous ending and the loss of some characters. But, after reflecting and reading some reviews, I soon learned that the author’s intention was to have the audience interpret their own ending to Ophelia and Thorn’s story. There are themes of having one’s own destiny and to not let any “creator” take control of one’s life and choices, which is why I think the author (creator) made this ending the way it is. My heartache just shows how close I became to these characters, which is a sign of a great story.

This. Was. The. Best. 
omg in love with this series. 
I'm in love with Ophelia. 
I'm in love with Thorn. 
I'm in love with Archibald. 
I'm in love with all of the main characters and many "side" characters oh my lord. 
It was really good, its clear this book was a bit rushed but tbh I loved it either way. 
while I would appreciate seeing ophelia's travel in the end, I don't necessarily think there's a need for another book. 
i was so scared to read this last book but in the end it didn't leave me such a bitter taste on my tongue. 
I enjoyed this series so much I doubt I'll ever like a book series as much again. 
Thank you Christelle Dabos for making me addicted to a tall, grumpy, really blond guy, I didn't really need another obsession to my list but I'm thankful I stumbled upon this series. <3
