A great book and a great end to a series. Things won't be the same for any of our characters, but I'm excited to have experienced it

So much happens in this book. Sometimes its tough to remember this only takes place over 3-5 days.CAWPILECharactersAlex—going for the self sacrifice route. Pushes the fateweaver to the extreme. Levels up a tiny bit with his foretellingLuna—Rescues Vari by contracting with the Jinn Maerid Monkey Paw. The ContractAnne—Forcibly merged alex isn't taking any crap from either of them. Dark Anne captured by the Jinn in her own mind. Can't even enter Elsewhere properly.Richard—Death, The Fuzz to prevent his Futuresight. Opastia. Forcing fake visions. Only gathering Power for Power's sakeCaldera How much was she fighting the Jinn, or did she just want to beat AlexNimbus—is it really that hard to listenSonder—always tried to stay out of the fight. Got him killed. Wouldn't change from light councilVihaelya for Ilmarin tradeDisappointed in Talisid AtmosphereThe Most descriptive scenes are definitely Elsewhere which is appropriate, but Jackas ability to neatly and competently describe both battle and non battle scenes is above parWritingGreat writing. Great Foreshadowing. Sometimes books ahead for what is going to happen. Great ending. Little bit of a tease at the end of the book. Fateweavers made for battle. – after he gets the fateweaver starts “battling” everyonePlotAnne attacks Sagash's Shadow realm, to then perform a ritual making it easier to Summon Jinn into people. Council teams up with Alex and Richard to attack. Richard betrays, then Alex half-betrays. Forcibly rescues Anne. Everyone thinks Alex is dead. But he's transformed half fateweaver half manInvestmentI was so invested in Alex and Anne's story by the end. LogicEverything was very consistent with the logic that Benedict Jacka created. Characters acted the way the way they were supposed to. EnjoymentSo much to enjoy. Couldn't put it down.MiscAlex “rescuing” Ji-YeongJi-yeong going to work for Luna at end of book. Anne and Alex get to be together. November being a “free” agentThe bullet ward saving Alex at the end. I'd completely forgotten about it.The Generals(jinn) were reminiscent of the Elements Fire, Water, Wind, EarthArachne's final gift. She knew everything.The “ending” if you know you know made me laughSome real training from Heliakon
