Thirteen Rising by Romina Russell
5.0
This ending was... I have no words. This was one of the most spectacular endings I've read in a while. Don't let the bright colours on the cover deceive you. This finale is DARK. Everything from the characters to the story itself to the action and the sacrifices/deaths that occur. Author Romina Russell does not hold back with this one. I had tears in my eyes at more than one occasion, and I was constantly rooting for something to go right for a change!
I was very invested in the story and how closely it was tied to Rho's internal struggle. The depth of Rho's character development, though very, very dark, was investing and exciting. She carried the story and while I did sympathize with everything she had gone through, the way she changed really surprised me.
Still, interspersed with the action and drama, this was an excellent finale where everyone's arcs came to a close and the moral of the story was very strong. By far my favourite in this four book series, and because of this excellent finale, I can wholeheartedly recommend the entire series. It truly does pay off at the end, and I will miss this unique concept, characters, and world. A must read for YA asci-fi lovers!
