Reviewed by Natália OliveiraTHIS BOOK. I'm still reeling. I don't think I can put into words how amazing this was and all that I'm feeling after finishing this trilogy. Seriously. This was as action packed as This Shattered World, or even more so, because while in the second novel we got one climax, one moment of tension so things could either work out or go to hell, in this one we had several of those, almost in a row. When you though things would slow down a bit so you could catch your breath, something else would come along and you'd be on the edge of your seat the entire time. Fitting for the last book of a trilogy. It also tied up all the loose ends nicely. I loved the way the six main characters' lives were interwoven from the start, how they all connected with each other and how they balance each other. And all the pairings have amazing chemistry, it's impossible not want them to be together. They also add up to one another perfectly - Sofia and Gideon, for example. Sofia is poised, calculating, smart, sassy, more closed off and can read people perfectly, while Gideon is more open, more fun, more emotional (the guy wears his heart on his sleeve) and can deal with machines way better than with people. They complement each other. I loved to see their banter, their interaction and them falling in love, and the evolution of their relationship was very satisfying. It took them longer than with Tavern & Lilac and Jubilee&Flynn, but that's due to both their trust issues and all the secrets. But when they gave in and decided to finally choose to trust each other...OMG,SO CUTE. And Roderick LaRoux. This gave us a way better insight into LaRoux's past, the experience with the whispers and everything before (and even after) the Icaru's crash, mainly because the chapter's introduction are from the Whispers' POV. We knew from book 1 that this man was incredibly dangerous, powerful and ruthless but it's not until this book that we fully realize how much power Lilac's father has and at what lengths he's willing to go to get what he wants. It scared me a lot. In the end, we get to understand a little of his reasons and his convictions (well intentioned and moved by grief at first, crazy and power-hungry after a time), and I personally felt a little pity for him. His ending was sad, but deserved. The fact that it all started with Tavern & Lilac and ended with them owned my heart. It was their story we read and fell in love with first, it was connected to them more than to the others..despite the suffering they've been through in book 1 and in this book, I guess it had to be like this. It all came full circle and I LOVED IT (my heart died a little and it was PAINFUL, but worth it in the end). I'm sad to leave this series and this amazing characters behind, but I'm sure I'll be revisiting Elysium, Avon & Corinth again. And I NEED Amie Kaufman and Megan Spooner to write another book together, they make actual magic with words together.
