This is a fine ending to the trilogy. I didn't love it, even though this series managed to grab my attention so much that I devoured the whole thing in a couple days. There are many aspects I really enjoyed here, but I think my biggest problem was mainly that it felt overambitious.

This book was almost non-stop action. It went from plot point to plot point to plot point. Which is fine, but it just made me feel like this series would've really just been a whole lot better if Kuang had split this book into two.

It's intense, action-packed and it has the usual grimness you've come to expect by now. But unfortunately, it failed to deliver for me. I still really enjoyed it though. Looking forwrd to what R.F. Kuang cooks up next.
