This is a reread for me. It was good and I like that we got a lot of “epilogue” ( I know they are actual chapters but it felt like an epilogue). However this book was too long. I don’t mind reading a long book and I know it was hard for SJM to wrap up a series she spent like a decade or longer on, but we could have cut like a quarter of this. I dont really like military history, I don’t care about flanks and maneuvers, so that was a drain to read. I feel like the timeline was questionable at certain points between the separate groups.
The Wolf tribe and lost fae portaling in at the end was Avengers Endgame in a bad way and we’re supposed to believe that the cadre were carefully drawing wyrdmarks in the midst of battle and they didn’t get trampled/kicked away by other soldiers????
And why didn’t Elide say sorry???
I know she saved Lorcan’s life but she still should have said sorry for telling him she hoped he died
Lastly the
nameless thing with the King of Adarlan was stupid. He could help close the lock by being blood related to Brannon. If Dorian could do it, so could the king. We didn’t need a rigmarole about “he took my name.” It’s a cool reveal bc we didn’t realize it but it was ridiculous to the plot line

I don’t know what to say, my heart was shattered and put back together again over and over again. I’m in love with this series and these characters and I’m sad that it’s over. As always we see phenomenal growth and development from every character throughout the story. There was always something happening with multiple different sub plots and quests to aid in the overall story. This was the absolute perfect culmination of our characters and story to round out this series.
