Compared to the first two books in the series, this one was much harder to get through, both physically and emotionally. However, that doesn’t make the stories or journey any less interesting. It is everything I ever wanted from Tisaanah and Max, even if the journey was long and brutal. I feel like this series puts ills of the world, like slavery, war, colonization, etc. and puts it in a context that shows it in multiple aspects. And I love seeing the main characters learning about themselves as they navigate these issues. The world feels so full and alive. I’m kind of sad to leave it.
