I am so incredibly sad right now. Thank you R.F. kuang for creating one of the best fantasy series I have ever read. There is so much to be learned from these books, both of history, today, and tomorrow.

This book was stretched out about 20% longer than necessary. There are portions that even felt like filler. The ending was decent and wrapped up the series well.

Not the ending I wanted but kind of felt coming. Still, I was unsatisfied at how the behemoth trilogy ended...ending rushed but other, less important things, dragged on too long or were unnecessary.
