The final book of the Grisha trilogy! And I think my favorite of the three, in a lot of ways, both because so many of the threads that had been set up in the first two books did in fact pay off, and because the payoffs were both fitting and sometimes surprising!
The book begins with Alina having lost her power after the events at the end of book two and imprisoned by the priest, and the ragtag group of resisters conspire to free her and harness her magic again. They have to go on another adventure to find the third and final amplifier, and we learn the truth behind them and the entire system and history of magic, and it all holds together quite well. The ending is satisfying and gives Alina and Mal the happy ending you want them to have without breaking the rules of the universe too much, and it's very effective, even if I never did feel as strongly about the two of them as I would have liked to. All in all, a very pleasant trilogy to read, and I'm looking forward to Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom.
