It's done, I finished the final book in this amazing series! I'm just going to dive right in with this review. First off, I want to thank Laini Taylor for writing these books, she really has a way with words that make me pause for a minute. However, compared to the other books, I have to say this was my least favorite. I've made a small list of the reasons why:
That being said, I'm still very enthusiastic about this book and there were so many beautiful moments as well. I loved Liraz's storyline in this book, and I shipped her with Ziri from the moment that was even a possibility. So glad they got together in the end❤️ I'm glad Karou finally decided to create soldiers with honor, that was what I was hoping for in this last part of the series. The chapter in which we get inside Razgut's mind was one of my favorites. He is feisty. At the end of book 2, I was so disappointed in him, but I love his wit and internal dialogue. It reminded me a bit of Gollum on a good day. What was done to him was so cruel, I thought his backstory was very important. And poor Akiva, he just can't get a break, can he? "I keep getting second chances, that aren't rightly mine". If you've read the books, you understand how intensely sad it was when Akiva spoke them😭
Because I've only read two books this month, I'm going to pick this one as my Book of the Month⭐ I will miss the world of Eretz, and I will say goodbye to it with the appropriate words:
I kiss your eyes and leave my heart in your hands.
