What an emotional book. Though I have to say there wasn't many high notes to play the dark notes off. War is horrible, there are no real winners - especially not when both sides refuse to see the other site as human, especially not when nobody cares about civilian casualties, when civilian casualties are used as part of the weapon. 
 Once again I was captivated by the book, almost unable to put it down, reading the book in 24 hours. In some ways I am glad the series is done so I can do other things. And the series had the perfect length. No questions were really left unanswered for me, not really. I have to say I thought the last 100 pages were horrible and evil and perfect. I had the biggest lump in throat for most of the time, tears spilling for the last few pages. 
 I think it is a very adult book series to be marketed as young adult - which do tend to be quite fluffy, not that I think young adults can't handle it, because of course they can, they are tougher than they look. 
 Amazing series - I am so happy that I finally read it. Thank you Caroline for talking me into it. I was quite apprehensive about it. I really didn't expect much from it.
