A beautiful ending to an exciting and emotional series. Nothing to say that I haven't already said in my reviews for the first two books of this trilogy, but equally glowing praise for the author's prose and ability to take meta to the extra degree in terms of acknowledging any problematic aspects of being a cis white guy writing Sapphic queer fantasy. I loved it. Even when it got dreamy and excessive at the climax. I am forever a Jay Kristoff fan, my lovelies, and if you aren't yet, I highly recommend you climb on in for the ride! ( )
I’m so conflicted about this book. The writing is amazing. The story is amazing as well. What I’m having a hard time with is the bloody awful romance. I so wish that it wasn’t part of this story. It bothered me so much. If the romance wasn’t there I would have rated this 5 stars. I didn’t like how it turned out with Tric, how he gave up so much and got nothing in return. I absolutely hate Ashlinn. I found her character whiny and pathetic most of the time. And don't even get me started on the love triangle. ( )
«Oh, pronunciamo tutti le parole, eseguiamo tutti i gesti, sì. “Questa carne è il tuo banchetto. Questo sangue il tuo vino.” Eppure, una volta terminate le preghiere, ci gettiamo in ginocchio per quelli come il fottuto Julius Scaeva. (49)
«Noi non sappiamo nulla» bofonchiò Mercurio. «Sappiamo come terminano tutte le storie, piccolo impertinente. Inclusa la sua.» (162)
E al centro di tutti loro c’era Mia. Brache di cuoio nere e stivali di pelle di lupo. Una camicia di seta bianca e corsetto di cuoio. Una lama lunga di necrosso appesa alla schiena, un’altra di neracciaio ashkahi che le pendeva in vita. (490)
«Perfino la luce del giorno muore.» (493)
Non temere il buio era non sorridere mai quando l’alba baciava il tuo volto. (531)
This series was just fantastic! I was worried that the final book wouldn't live up to expectations but it do that and more. I went into this with the mistaking idea that it was a YA fantasy but it most definitely is adult fiction. I am so impressed with the whole building and the character building which continues throughout all 3 books. If you like high fantasy fan, I highly recommend it. I loved it enough that I will buy it to re-read again in the future. 4.5 stars ( )
