I'm not going to lie I don't really know what to write here. I finished this book last night, and I'm still processing to be honest. This book was just so good. A perfect conclusion to this series, if I might say so. In this book the world is facing the consequences of the past two book, and the end might just be very near. Therefore this book is quite exestential, and it is incredibly well done. I thought the discussions around religion, faith, and even idealism within these characters was incredibly interesting and well executed. It isn't the main focus of this book but it does play a central part in it, but considering this book is about the world potentially ending that makes total sense.
Over these 3 books I have become incredibly attached to this cast of characters, and this book really showcased their growth throughout this series. Their journeys throughout this book was also incredible. They have all really found their strenghts and really came into their own.
The storyline in this book was also just really strong, and interesting. As mentioned before we are dealing with the potential end of the world as well as the consequences of the events of book one and two. It was just really interesting to see the different parts of the world reacting differently to these things. I just didn't want to put this book down because even though no massive things were happening for quite some time it was still really well crafted. I was completely sucked into it. The last part of this book though had my heart racing. It was twist after twist, some I saw coming and therefore felt smart about it just for the bigger reveal I could have never seen coming to come peeping around the corner a few pages later. It was all just so incredibly well crafted. I immediately wanted to pick book 1 back up after finishing this to just experience it all again but now with all the information I have of this world now. I don't know. My brain is just broken a little bit but this was phenomenal. That's all that matters.
