Ngl, I'm a little sad this series is over now. I listened to all of them back to back and had a great time with these books.
This is a cleverly constructed story, a lot of little things have been forshadowed and build up to since book one. Really well handled. There were a lot of great moments in here and the story made sense, still I felt like it fell a liiiiittle flat. I can't really explain it, but I hoped for a bit more of an epic moment for the ending. I also didn't enjoy the dual time line that much, it took me out of the story sometimes and the one that took place in the past took a little too much time. There was interesting information there, but I would've liked it to move a little faster.
I also liked how this fantasy plot still had a message about what it means to be humanlike how flaws and emotions, the good and the bad, make us human .
All in all I am happy with this conclusion though!
