This was a really fitting conclusion to this series. I loved getting to see more fates and how they interacted with the main characters and each other. I want to much more lore about the fates! The stakes were high and plans failed along the way, which was very stressful. I felt like the two love triangles got kind of old though, and this book spends more time on the romances than the other two books, which wasn’t my favorite. Lots of good twists and turns though, and it left me wanting more!

Not my fav of the trilogy, though the story arc about the Fates was pretty good in this one. The part with Legend was a bit drawn out, but it is what it is!

Solid 3. It's definitely the strongest of all three books, but bc it's the last in the series I don't think that's a good thing. The plot was better, the characterization was better, and maybe I'm juts blind to it now but the prose also seemed better.

I still absolutely did not like the ending.

I do not think Legend should have given his immortality up for a 16 yr old he met like 2-5 months ago, as opposed to his brother (who he does actually care about a lot, but is horrible at showing) who has been by his side the entire goddamn time. I just don't like the way he was characterized throughout this whole series, he could have been so much better. Like Jacks, and Poison, and the Assassin - they were all fucking great.

Tella still grated my nerves every chance she got, but Scarlett (while still a bit annoying) was really good in this book (even if I did find it completely unbelievable for her character). Julian really stepped up his game in this one; i was real indifferent to him in the first book, and we barely saw him the second, so I don't know if that's really that hard to do. And I loved Jacks and the Assassin the most, but I was dead set on Legend being the legendary character of this series and I'm so fucking disappointed in the direction the author decided to take him; he could have been so great.

Whatever, I really only wanted to read this series bc I really want to read Once Upon a Broken Heart, and considering the improvement between books 1 and 3 of this series I'm holding onto a thin string of hope that OUaBH will actually not make angry.
