I loved this final book of the series, but I felt that the end felt rushed which was a shame. I also felt that Manizeh would have benefitted from having a few chapters from her pov to make her a bit more sympathetic, especially towards the end. 

SPOILER below:
I know a lot of people were upset that Nahri didn’t end up with Dara but I really liked his ending! I adored Ali and was really happy with their ending and felt that Dara’s fit in well - he didn’t deserve Nahri or Daevabad and needed to make peace with his past.
