Thoughts 💭
To fall back into this series and finally finish it was everything I hoped it would be and more. I did listen to this one as an audiobook which I felt kind of took away from the overall feeling of the book.
 
We get a conclusion to all the crazy things happening to and within Katharine. Mirabella continues to be the devoted eldest sister, doing everything in her power to unite the others and work together to fight off the big bads. It felt like Jules was shifted to the background of this one, unlike the last.
 
I believe I felt a change in Arsinoe within this book, we've always known she could be an impulsive and stubborn person. But we get to see her allow people in, and build new relationships with other characters. We get to see her strength come out and she builds a confidence within herself that is beyond what she was before. 
 
This was an intense and war driven book. I think it was the ending that needed to be told, although it was devastating at times.
