3 and a half stars 
 It was a good ending, nothing really surprised me though, except for a couple of things, maybe. 
 I liked that ending, it wrapped up everything nicely. 
 The serie overall was OK, I really like the setting, the Russian feel and the magic system. Also I really loved Nikolai but also Zoya grew on me in book 3. I didn't dislike anyone, like I think some people did. I like Mal just fine for instance. His reactions to things, especially in book2 were perfectly normal in my opinion, I'm not sure why he annoyed everyone. I think Alina being all "I love mal but what shall I do?!" for 2 books was the annoying part. DECIDE AND BE DONE WITH IT. 
 Anyway, a good fantasy YA, I wish it focused less and the impossible love thing, and I wished for a more sensational ending.
