I cannot describe how much this series has meant to me as a reader and this book was the perfect way to wrap it up. This entire series has taken me through a wonderful journey. I loved all the characters through and through. Sabaa Tahir, I LOVE YOU.

Whew! What a saga! I don’t think I can really review only this book (it was really just a small part of the entire story), but: it was so good. Heart wrenching. Beautiful. There is so much to love and so much to grieve. The story is gritty and real and doesn’t pull punches. It is full of violence and love and horror and hope. Although the resolution is gorgeous and satisfying, do not start reading this series expecting a happy story. You’ll learn to love so many fascinating, diverse characters and... some of them won’t make it to the end. Overall, these books are heavy, but beautifully written.
