Not sure how exactly to word a review. For a book I was blown away by. It has its faults but otherwise it was a rock solid ending to the trilogy (ah rock puns).
“I think,” Hoa says slowly, “that if you love someone, you don’t get to choose how they love you back.”
the devastating and ugly consequences of oppression, exploitation and racism that humanity keeps returning to through the long history of this series is also tampered by moments that give us hope that humanity can change and may change for the better after this conclusion
It’s hard to explain without reading all of the series but it is emotional and gut wrench but filled with a lot of love
