This was an incredible ending to The Wicked + The Divine! I felt like all the storylines were resolved, and my questions were answered. 

I really love how

the gods discovered that their "divine" gifts were always inside of them, and their "godhood" just allowed them to take a shortcut to success. They were able to renounce their godhood because it never truly existed.

Baal's storyline was written really beautifully.

They really showed how his regret literally killed him.  They captured the turmoil he felt, and the aftermath when he was gone.

I loved the final scene at

Cass' funeral. It just felt so right that Cass and Laura ended up together and got to spend their lives together. Cass' eulogy was beautiful and made me cry.

A satisfying ending, though the flashbacks to Ananke’s beginnings still confuse me. I also felt like the romantic relationships weren’t entirely necessary. I liked the last chapter though!
