A very satisfying conclusion. There were many moments that asked the reader to suspend their belief: from intertwining narratives to plot armor. However, seeing where the story ends is truly rewarding.

I only liked the ending. This book was boring, drawn out, and had such static characters I found I was hoping the villain would succeed throughout the novel. The only characters I liked were shrike and fishcake. If you want to hate read a book I’d choose this one. I will admit the ending was everything I could have hope for from this book and was executed well. Other than that it’s not my cup of tea.
