With time travel being introduced at the end of the second book, I didn’t really have a choice here but to accept it.
And, I’ll admit, Kaufman and Kristoff did a really good job keeping the details and rules of the time jumps clear for the readers (mostly through Zila).
It did lead to me getting turned around quite a few times though.
That development made no sense to me.
With Fin’s help, she came to understand her incredible value to the squad, which she hadn’t seen before, and she opened her eyes enough to see Finian in front of her.
Finian - My favorite wiseass. Finaian kicked butt in this book and finally got Scarlett to see how amazing he is. What more can be said about Finian de Seel?

Jay Kristoff, one of the authors of Aurora's End, is very problematic. So, if you are interested in this book series buy them secondhand or get them at the library.

This series was very enjoyable to me and the final book did not disappoint. Of course not everything was amazing and there are some things I would change. Multiple times throughout the series, and especially this book, I felt like the characters were reduced to a few traits or people. I also didn't love the time travel route they went with. I overall liked this book, but it wasn't the best I've read.
