Endings can be hard. This was a very good ending but not quite sure it lived up to the rest of the series (a 4.5 if goodreads had such a thing). Really the most unbelievable part was . But otherwise, super enjoyable.

emperor ex machina where he just shows up and everything is "fixed". In a novel that was otherwise stepped in pessimistic realism, that felt a bit too much like YA wish-fulfillment popping up to save the day.cyfox's review

End of another rivetting trilogy. I didn't care much for the ending, no plot twists to keep me on edge but what a brilliant tale this has been. Siege of Rage and Ruin could be the weakest of the three books but this was a story worth following until the very end.
Isoka, you're badass!

This finale felt like one large epic showdown. All the players were in place and it was time for the last conflicts and battles to be wrapped up. The story moved at a brisk pace, yet there were still plenty of moments for the characters to process and adapt to their situations.
Isoka was all but untouchable and while I would have liked to see her in more dangerous situations, i still rooted for her to survive. Her companions were quite entertaining, especially Jack, and there was still a sense of tension when it came to rescuing her sister. Tori herself had an interesting story where she met and clashed with new characters, and grappled with her incredible powers.
The whole series takes place in a truly unique world with amazing powers and I would have loved to explore it more. The action scenes were clearly described and exciting, and I felt the words became a movie I could watch in my head. A definite recommend for fantasy fans looking for an escapist adventure on a ghost ship!

4 Sisters Rule the World Stars
As a series overall I really enjoyed it, as the final book however it was not my favorite. I was kind of hoping for an epic battle with lots of magical well usage and etc. I got a lot of self loathing and hating each other and miscommunication. It kind of felt rushed for an ending, I guess I was hoping for more.
Now I don't want you to get the wrong idea, it had the same amazing characters. Almost everyone was back for more in this final book. As per usual I really enjoyed the side character more than the main characters. Jack and Zarun could have their own books and I would be completely fine with that. There was a little bit of political intrigue in this book but I didn't find it as involved. I did like the introduction of the emperor and would have liked to of seen more of him. The use of magic in these books aka "wells" is so interesting and I would love to delve more into that. The sisters Tori and Isoka are very complicated in this book not quite understanding the woman they have both grown into.
Again this trilogy over all is very well written and a great world of new people and exciting magic. I would highly recommend it and I will continue to read this author. A very big thank you to my best buddy reader Danielle ;) for reading this whole trilogy with me.

I did feel that this book did not end on a high note. These books have been tough, gruesome and painful. But here there were some battles, but they all came through unscathed. Even when one was kidnapped she was safe. The book went from dark to more lightful. Which in these days is good, but at the same time it felt different from that which came before.
Isoka did not feel as powerful as before.
And Tori, I have a hard time believing she did all that.
Can't believe I say I wanted more death. i guess I should be happy it all worked out and they all lived happily ever after

My biggest complaint is that it could have been so much more. It just felt like brevity was prioritised over quality and that's sad. It was a mostly satisfying ending to the series though.
