⚠️ CW: war, death, sexual assault and mentions of rape ⚠️ Wow what an end to an absolutely incredible trilogy! This book continues to follow Karou who is intent on steering her and the rebellion away from dead-end vengeance in the hopes of a better future for all and their war-ravaged world. However, when Jael's brutal Seraph army trespass into the human world the unthinkable becomes essential and Karou and Akiva must rally their enemy armies against the threat. It may be a twisted version of their long-ago dream but they begin to hope that it might forge a way forward for their people, and perhaps for themselves to also find a new way of living and maybe even loving. But there are bigger threats than Jael in the offing; A vicious queen is hunting Akiva and in the skies of Eretz something terrifying is happening that fills their world with a deep sense of dread. This series hasn't stopped leaving me speechless after every single book! I generally find with trilogies that there is always one book that is lacking in some way but again Laini Taylor has absolutely smashed it. There is so much I could rave about this book and this entire series but its so hard without giving spoilers. Overall, I don't know how there isn't more hype surrounding this trilogy because I've adored every last page and the beautiful writing of Laini Taylor. And I know I've said it before with the last two book reviews but if you are into epic mythical fantasies then you need to read this series!

Still very confused about the stelions. I feel like that plot arc was a little rushed but if you take the last 10% of the book it was 5 stars

OKAY BUT COME ON HOW IS THIS SO GOOD
(I have minor squabbles re: the ending because I feel like it left a couple of things open ended and I mean it’s fine for them to be open ended because you basically know what’s happening but also I wanted more?? And yeah I know the book was already 600+ pages but I would have read 100 more and that’s the truth)
ALSO LIRAZ’S CHARACTER ARC IS UNPARALLED GENIUS
