This was a LONG one. I made a joke to another fan of the series that this is the book where almost every established character just kept having problems, which was a funny plot device even if i could tell it was leading up to an important reveal. I can't believe I'm almost to the end of this series.

I really liked the relationship between Aden and Zaira. It's always interesting to see a relationship develop between two people who already have a past together; doubly so since this relationship was between two Arrows and Silence has just fallen. Their relationship was unexpectedly romantic; they were busting out swoon-worthy lines that definitely proved neither of them had ever been fully Silent.

The Trinity Accord has finally formed!! It's so interesting to see the lead-up to the formation after already seeing it in action in the Trinity books and it definitely adds more weight to it. If I reread Trinity now (which I'm planning to do but not anytime soon) I think they'd feel like entirely different books.

About to put this series to bed and I'm sad about it, but I'm having a fantastic time.
