A fantastic ending to Opal’s story.
The journey of family reconciliation (that doesn’t feel forced or that what was done was ok now), the power of love/family/loyalty in the face of the enemy, and watching the world building and magical philosophy in action made this story so inspiring for me as a reader and writer.
I love that Opal, no matter what, never compromises her morals, goals, or beliefs even when the person asking her to is a benevolent god.
The HEA at the end was realistic and even though I knew Aaron wouldn’t leave her readers sobbing at the end I did worry for Opal and Nik a lot in this book.
I highly recommend this series for anyone who loves cyberpunk, fans of the Shadowrun ttrpg, slow burn romance, dragons, amazing worldbuilding, and strong female leads that save their world and those they love.
