A worthwhile conclusion to the series with a gripping climax. I love the conceptual framework of the series, the worldviews at the heart of it, the futures it extrapolates from there. I think it's an important intervention in YA dystopias, not only in terms of the diversity of its characters and the landscapes, but also for its optimism and its emphasis on the now as the time of change. I just wanted to go a little more in-depth with character relationships and dynamics. Loved Starbeauty's and Wanders' roles in this novel though - two of my favourite characters!

A strong final book in the trilogy and the first eBook I've ever read.

I really loved this series. Highly recommend. This last instalment is a bit of a tear jerker though.

Perfect ending. Like, actually. There was nothing missing, it was perfect.

Now please excuse me while I go sob in a corner for a little while.

I CRIED FOUR TIMES.

I feel satisfied with the ending and it accomplishes what the author was going for. I do however agree with other reviews that I wish we got more Georgie <3

It's a sign of good writing when all the emotional scenes make me cry and all the tense scenes make me so tense I feel like I need to stop and walk for a bit. The found family vibes are immaculate and we love it here.
