A great finale to a truly fantastic trilogy, had me extremely emotional at times. 
 Heaps and heaps of betrayal is strewn throughout this trilogy so that you never really know who you can trust, but it's more than that, I really felt for Darrow and what he was going through, it draws you in for sucker punch after sucker punch and somehow never prevents you from becoming over invested in a character. 
 Darrow has changed so much since Red Rising, he has become jaded by his experiences and constant deceit, at times you really feel that he is walking a grey line between good and evil, freedom fighter and terrorist. 
 "How do sheep kill a lion? By drowning him in blood."... And this book drips with it!
