While I feel like the pacing of this book was a little off (I would've taken another 100 pages to have the final battle + conclusion drawn out more), I still loved it. I like how each character received a sort of ending- good or not- and we see where the world may be headed. There were some things I didn't love re: pacing and character during the first half of the book, but each served its purpose. So sad to see this series end :(( i do maintain that the second book is the best!!
