Although the ending was emotional and made me cry, I feel like this is the weakest of the three books.
I like books that end. I mean they are sad because you say farewell but it's a good thing. I am glad to have had the opportunity to enjoy this world building. It was a unique magic system with unique interactions and some very memorable characters.
Overall the pacing of the book felt about spot on. Some character development or utility seem marginalized but it's ok, we have a plot to unravel and sh*t to do so they had to plow on.
