Still a good time, but liked it a bit less than the first two (which I liked very much), mostly because the pacing felt a bit off. More time was spend on things I cared about less and less time was spend on things I cared about more. Also I kinda missed the school setting, because I love a magic school setting ;)

Absolutely the best book series I've ever read. A beautiful, compelling, and haunting metaphor for capitalism and racism and colonization and just...one of the most gorgeous pieces of fantasy I've ever read.

I didn’t love it quite as much as the other ones, but I thoroughly loved the series as a whole. I’m sad it’s over!
