This was a really fitting conclusion to this series. I loved getting to see more fates and how they interacted with the main characters and each other. I want to much more lore about the fates! The stakes were high and plans failed along the way, which was very stressful. I felt like the two love triangles got kind of old though, and this book spends more time on the romances than the other two books, which wasn’t my favorite. Lots of good twists and turns though, and it left me wanting more!

This was a very satisfying ending to the trilogy. I especially enjoyed the dual pov as it was the perfect way to tell the story of the last book. 
Personally, I am not the biggest fan of Garner's storytelling because I feel like the jumps in time sometimes make things seem to random or like the characters aren't as important as they should be. 
I still enjoyed Tella more than Scarlett but I definitely grew fonder of Scar in this book.

Scar turning out to be half-fate came as kind of a surprise but then again it explained why she had been seeing colours all the time and why the sisters look nothing alike. I am still not quite sure how I feel about Tella and Jacks because I felt like there were too many things unexplained to believe he would have become so obsessed with her. I enjoyed that Tella and Legend finally got together and felt like him sacrificing his immortality for her was a very fitting ending to their love story. She truly did safe him.

Solod conclusiom, very satisfied with it! I almost expected More, somehow, especially after how amazing the first book was and how the finale feels almost anti-climactic at the end, but I think it's done really well regardless, it felt like a natural course for the story, and I think it's a satisfying end! Very curious about how

the empire is going to run with Scarlett in charge when she's never seemed the type to want or thrive in leadership and wasn't ever raised or prepared to take the throne, and what exactly happens to all the Fates that just disappear (like Jacks, who does not strike me as the type to simply allow Tella and Legend to be in love after all that work he put in),

but such is life I suppose! Solid end to a solid series!
