Ook deel 3 is gewoon een heel fijn boek. In 1 dag uitgelezen. Was exact wat ik verwacht had na de eerste twee delen, en viel niet tegen. Alina, Mal en een diverse cast vrienden zoeken de Vuurvogel en hopen daarmee de darkling te kunnen verslaan. Het gevecht aan het einde voelde een beetje underwhelming en gehaast, maar de karakters waren nog steeds leuk, het was goed geschreven en zat een fijne pacing in. Nog een mooi einde er aan gebreid, ik vind het helemaal mooi. Niet spectaculair ofzo, maar gewoon een erg fijn tussendoortje.

WHY WERE THE OTHER TWO BOOKS IN THE TRILOGY NOT LIKE THIS??

Finally we got suspense, especially at the end of most (if not all) chapters - something that was lacking in the rest of the trilogy. I think I would’ve been more taken aback with this book if I hadn’t watched the tv show first but either way this was enjoyable and there were still some elements that I did not expect. Expected a different ending but I’m happy with the one we got, can’t complain.

Unlike shadow & bone and siege & storm, emotions were felt on this one. Safe to say I won’t be emotionally recovering for a while after reading that damn epilogue

This is a phenomenal end this this series. I was so close to tears as I finished the epilogue.

So many tears shed, both happy, bittersweet, and sad. An amazing closing to an epic trilogy.

I liked this book! I was reading some other reviews and I’m seeing some ppl who did not agree with me. But I really liked it, I thought it was a good ending and was wrapped up well. I enjoyed this whole trilogy, it was very light and easy to read and I thought it was an interesting concept.
