booksthatburn's review against another edition

The stress of my own TBI is still too recent for me to be okay reading about one right now. I will try this again later.

5.0

 This is by far one of the best series I have ever read. Absolutely incredible.

This is fantasy, but it's also more than that. There was so much political intrigue, family dynamics, war, grief, loss, love, and heartbreak. I cannot recommend this series enough. I don't want to say any more than that since I don't want to spoil it.

Please, please read this series. Check trigger warnings before.

I am very much looking forward to what Fonda Lee writes in the future

FONDA LEE I AM IN YOUR WALLS. GOOD GODS. 

This is quite possibly the best series end book I've read. Fonda is a true master of political intrigue and character development. I was sobbing. I am in awe. It's worth every one of the 700 pages.

Truly an epic. A fitting ending to the trilogy. Fonda Lee has done a masterful job bringing readers on this journey and wraps everything up here in a way that feels true to the story.
