A satisfying conclusion to the series, but not quite as strong a novel by itself as the previous two in the series were. Georgie was never as strongly present as Ashala and Ember were in their stories, and the structure didn't really offer the big reveals. (Or rather, the big reveals were all character deaths, and we knew some deaths were coming, and once they're on the table like that, that roulette wheel isn't something I find particularly compelling.)

But I'm rounding it back up to the overall four stars because what I really needed right now was a fantasy where the big emotional finale point was, "Seriously, just be fucking nice to each other ffs." ( )

Literary merit: excellent
Characterization: good
Recommended: Yes
Reading level: young adult

This is the third book in the series. I hate when I do that. I could not tell that from an initial look. All in all a good read. The story itself was interesting and the character development was good. Characters were easy to relate to.
Writing style good. ( )
