This was a great last ending to the series. You get to see the clan war and the characters evolve over 20 years. It's weird to see the characters growing older. I really enjoyed the end with:

the hopeful note at the end with the new Pillars agreeing to put to blood feud behind them.

. Overall, this was a great series and a great way to end the series. It's just that something is missing from this series for me to bump it up to 5 stars. Still a totally worthwhile read though.

 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.

I can’t believe I finally finished this trilogy. It’s one that will definitely sit with me for a long time because I love books that make the reader question what it means to be a good or bad person. For about a week, I’ve lived inside this book and felt a roller coaster of emotions. The Kaul’s and all of the characters in these books are extremely flawed but Lee portrayed each person with such complexities, individuality, and empathy that I felt connected to them. I desperately want to see this trilogy as a film series or streaming show.
