Thank god this was the last book the author wrote; this was horrendous. I don't think there's a single feasible way they could've fumbled the ending worse than they did

“What is it that we search for? Every child knows the answer. We search for love. Love is our shelter. Love is our purpose. Love is why we are here.”
5 stars. Perfect ending to this story. I wouldn’t change a thing about it honestly. I love these books so dearly but can not put that into words. I just want more people to read it because the writing is stunning, the characters and their growth is fantastic, and the romance is beautiful and so swoon worthy. I cannot recommend it enough and I wish there were more books by this author because she has such a gift for the written word. I’ve loved being in this world and reading these books for the past three days. I can’t wait to read these books all over again. They’re very comforting and gorgeous. Highly, highly, highly recommend.

I will probably write a more elaborate review for this book (and the second) sometime later. Just wanted to say that this was as good as the previous ones. Just with... too much focus on male characters for my tastes and in comparison to the other two. Still loving the trilogy

I really love this whole series. It is a bit subtle and very slow and kind.
I enjoy the characters and especially in this book the fluidity of a person. The book speaks in an eloquent way about difficult and deep things that I find comforting and nice to read in fiction, for once.
Not to mention, I just love war fiction with the battle strategies and gaining allies and friend on the forefront. I just hope it would have continued longer to explore more the setting after the ending. Even an epilogue would have been nice.

What a great story
This is the story of Tamras and Maara and how they grew into the people they were supposed to be; warriors who knew how to avoid a war, ambassadors who knew how to turn enemies into friends. And an epic tale of love.
