Perfect. I loved everything about this. I don't really know what else to say, but this capped off a phenomenal series, I adored our two MCs and felt the appropriate range of rage and sadness and righteous indignation, and I loved every second of it. 

ALSO DO NOT READ OUT OF ORDER. This hits SO GOOD when read in order as the final book in the series, and it hits even better if you've read the series before. I've never been so delighted by a character arc in a historical romance series, I promise it's worth it.
