What a satisfying end to the series! I love Nahri so much, and I loved following her & Ali’s journey. I have to say Dara’s chapters in this book were hard to get through. Just having to see Manizheh’s cruelty get worse and worse was hard. Because we didn’t really see her transformation from young woman to despot, it felt like it was just piling on at times. But overall I very much enjoyed this challenging book, and I would very much recommend this series to fantasy fans!
