9.5/10
Warning! Spoilers ahead!
This book completely destroyed
me, no joke. I can’t even begin to put into words how this world has sucked me in
over the past few weeks, despite it being quite a heavy-loaded series. This trilogy
really did end with a bang, and I honestly feel like everything was rounded off
satisfyingly and at the same time still left some things unfinished the next books.
I also appreciated how the ending was not some “perfect” ending. The Color system
is so fucking messed up and deeply rooted that it wouldn’t have been realistic at
all for it to all suddenly be brought to a happily ever after in just three
books. There are still so many political and social issues that need to be detangled
in this universe and I honestly feel like there is still so much room to delve
into that in the second half of this series.
Oh my poor little
Sevro, I’m so beyond glad that you were spared throughout this. At the end of
the book, when Cassius stabbed them in the back, I honestly thought I was going
to have to throw this book across the room, that’s how shocked I was! I was in such disbelief But luckily, Sevro the
little precious nugget was protected and will hopefully remain safe and sound
throughout the entire series and not a single hair on his head will be harmed.
The most touching and
emotional part of this entire series was definitely the relationship between
Darrow and Cassius. Those two have literally been to hell and back together and
with one another. The way the two of them were able to find their way back to each
other as brothers and friends actually did bring a lot of tears to my eyes.
There is something incredibly beautiful and poetic in a friendship that is able
to overcome so much hatred, violence and evil deeds. I really hope that Cassius
will have a prominent role in the upcoming books too.
