An absolutely amazing end to the trilogy. I'm sad it's over, but the story ended so much better than I had anticipated. There were multiple times I despaired at how broken the characters and Daevabad were and how this couldn't have a good ending. But I was wrong. It wasn't a "happy" ending, but it was the right ending and left me hopeful for the characters and their future.
