Whelp, my below review is so sweet and innocent 😅 I felt that the introduction of lore and world building came too late in a series and should have been spread out more throughout the novel, even if just odd tidbits that would make sense at the end of the series. I would love to see more of this world/the strange the dreamer world because I do think it's an interesting idea and Taylor is a good writer.

Oh that was so precious 😍😭 such a perfect perfect ending holy moly, my babies were together and Ertz is healing and it's perfect
It took me forever to get through the first half of the book just because I didn't want the story to end 😂 I really enjoyed the plot and all the mini plots in it
The story didn't end like a happily ever after, but a honest way of post war and rebuilding a world
As always, the writing style was perfect
This definitely one of my favourite series now ♥️

I never felt very invested in the relationship between Akiva and Karou in previous books, but I think I finally started to like the idea of them together in this last book. This installment had a further exploration of the lore which added to the world-building. We were introduced to new characters that were important and relevant to the ongoing war between chimera and seraphs. I appreciated that the consequences matched the stakes in the war. No one really left the war completely unscathed, yet the ending was still hopeful. This was probably the best book in the series, which usually isn't how I feel about trilogies. I'm looking forward to reading more books by Laini Taylor. She has great prose and world-building which was really what kept me interested in this series. A solid conclusion.
