part lll kind of ruined the book. the story went downhill after the death of the trifecta and they were killed a little too easily when they are supposed to be the most powerful figures in nikara history and the shaman plot felt stupid, it was introduced quite late in the story. 

overall, tbg felt fast paced compared to the first two books but i did enjoy it !!!!!!

I’m still veey distraught because of the ending. I knew where it was going and yet. I’m sure I will have more thoughts and feelings about the book in a day or so but at the moment I am very emotionally damaged.

Of course I wish the ending could have been better for all the characters but I understand why this had the ending it did. I am emotionally drained and heartbroken from this series.

“the world was a dream of the gods, and the gods dreamed in sequences, in symmetry, in patterns. history repeated itself, and she was only the latest iteration of the same scene in a tapestry that had been spun long before her birth.”

this was brutal and i am going to be thinking about that ending for a long time.
