This sits somewhere around a 4.5 for me but I'm rounding up.
It's a lot darker than the other books and really focuses on creature politics, but you also get glimpses into what the more mundane parts of Diana and Matthew's life could be like. There are big themes of accepting who and what you are, regardless if you like those parts of yourself.
Overall I still enjoyed it, even after multiple rereads. But there's a lot going on. A lot of info dumping and things wrap up very fast and out of nowhere towards the end. You get a lot of answers to big questions from throughout the series but because it's so quick that they don't quite make an impact.
A satisfying end to the core trilogy but with room for more.
