“But I have patience.”
“Hearts only bruise. They never break.”

First off, f••• you, Jay Kristoff. Second off, this was a beautiful ending. I have no words. The story of Gabriel, Phoebe, Dior, and Celene was incredible. If I never have to read French-adjacent fantasy terminology again, though. I would have loved to have seen a portait of the final famille. 

This feels like a well deserved culmination of everything from the first two novels. It also feels like everything from the first two amped up to 11. The battles are bigger and have more at stake. You love the characters even more than you did previously. Things feel more and more bleak.
