I LOVED this series. Each book was so well done. I loved the world, I enjoyed all the characters, and I even liked the ending. I was nervous that the ending would be unfulfilling, but it was kind of perfect. I will def be reading more from this author.

This whole series was easy to get lost in. It was very well written and a great storyline with lots of twists and turns. I did not see the final twist coming, and I normally do.

This was such an incredible ending to this series. The Bone Witch series is honestly now one of my most favourite set of books. What a triumph. I was not ready to leave this world and I don’t think I’ll ever really leave it and it’ll just live rent free in my mind and heart always!

I loved this series and I think this book is a great way to end things off. The way the books are set up where we are hearing the past while getting bits of the present was clever, even though I knew what would happen the how was still very interesting. 
There were a few parts that threw me off a little, though. Some of Likh's moments seemed out of character.

Like when she slaps Tea when she is getting emotional. In the audio book, even her voice changes for this part.

I really loved Likh's character, so it was a bit strange.

I laughed, I cried. This trilogy is may seem like a villain origin story at first, but in reality it’s a story about betrayal, grief and fighting against a society that set you up for failure.

Highly recommend.
