Phew, that was a tough conclusion to this trilogy. After two books of ash and despair, I had to take a small break, which doesn't mean this is an amazing story! It definitely is a genre of its own, sitting somewhere between fantasy, sci-fi and apocalypse survival. The book tackles many difficult and distressing topics in a brutal and confronting way. I think it really distinguishes itself from the mass of fantasy books out there that have very bland messaging in the end. Highly reccomend!
