This was everything! 😍😍
I will not claim to have understood everything but I loved it nonetheless! 🥰
The end to this trilogy was everything I could have asked for. The extensive world building is expanded even further, the characters are pushed to the absolute limit.
The conclusion was just perfect. I feel like I can’t go into it without spoilers but everything that unfurled I was pleased with.
I’m not going to yammer on because I’m just all gush and no substance. Just. If you enjoy epic fantasy then pick up this series!!!!
************************
Library copy available for pick up.
I will finally get the answers I need!!
😁
********************
I don’t usually care about the romances in books but I really hope Nahri and Ali are endgame and not Dara.
I hate the trope where a girl falls in love with a man/being that is like thousands of years older than them.
And I just love the friends to lovers trope!
Roll on June!!!!

I care a lot about romances in books, if there's romance I want it well portrayed and I'm with you team Ali and Nahri.

@Deborah: Yay team Ali and Nahri 😁
I don't necessarily ship anyone in this book (I LOVE Ali in general tho) but would much prefer her with Ali over Dara! But I am such a sucker for the friends to lovers trope too, definitely prefer it to enemies to lovers.
@Sophie: Heck yeah friends to lovers 😁 Also yes Ali’s character is my fave 💜
@Awry: Ive never actually read any Sarah J Maas 😊
I'm Team Ali and Nahri :) All those hand touches in book 2 better not be for nothing.
@Mena: Haha 😂 absolutely!!
''I hate the trope where a girl falls in love with a man/being that is like thousands of years older than them.'' THIS
@smque: Isn’t it just the worst?!
I personally think that Nahri and Ali friendship is the purest thing. Not sure if I want it to turn into a romance. But if she were to end up with one of the guys, I'd rather it be Ali.
@Sunny: That is also true! I love platonic boy/girl friendships too 😊
It sounds like the thousand year old guy wants a trophy wife.
Forget Ali and Dara; Sobek is bae
Thank you! This is how I felt too! I can understand the passion between Dara and Nahri but Ali and Dara had a much more healthy foundation for a relationship.
I’m sooooo happy you loved this series. It’s one of my favorites. Can’t wait for your review!
