What a way to end this series! I really couldn't say how it was going to go, from beginning to end. But, honestly, I find myself really satisfied with this ending. I loved and hated various characters, laughed at stupid decisions they made, cried when those tear jerkers popped up, my experience was such a wonderful one. One thing I did wished for is to see more of Rowan, but otherwise it was great!
The Thunderhead having a whole existential crisis and it finally reaching the solution of what was needed was so, so heartbreaking to read but it gave a whole new perspective to see the Thunderhead through.
Overall, great series, can't recommend it enough!
