If I could give this book more stars I would! 

This series deserves every acclaim! It is truly a literary masterpiece that I don’t think will ever be topped and it not being more popular is a CRIME!!! 

Everything is stunning, from the world building, to the characters, to that stakes, all the way down to very prose on the page! Simple amazing! 

I want to say more but I am still so fresh of reading it and nothing I could say would to it justice! It is an experience I wish on everyone!

Ngl I'm kind of glad to be done with these just so I can finally move on to something else. They weren't bad. I love the writing and the story. I was just kind of bored at times?

The Sky Beyond the Storm was the best ending this series could have had.

I was skeptical about this book after Reaper, but once it got started I  couldn’t put it down. The emotional twists and turns, the story, and the characters all added up for this to be an epic conclusion and a beautiful ending for characters that went through so much loss and suffering. But as the series reminded us throughout, “where there is life, there is hope”

Surprise MVP for me was Helene, I looked forward to her chapters and felt her pain and struggles so much. She became the woman her people needed her to be, and that arc was so compelling. Who knew she would become my favorite character?

This book has solidified this series for me, and I will definitely be reading Heir when it comes out. 4.75 stars.
