God, this book was a meat grinder. I've already complained once on the mortality rate in this series, but this time Rachel Caine went big. As in millions of people dead! I don't remember that it was that bad in Total Eclipse considering that it is the same battle we are talking about. 
 As another book in this series "Unbroken" was very good, but as a final installation it didn't meet my expectations. Yes, the battles were epic, the decisions hard and cataclysm tragic. The problem was I've read Total Eclipse before and seeing as there was an epilogue set in the future I knew from the beginning how it was going to end. It's like reading a detective story while knowing who the killer is. 
 "Unbroken" doesn't have an epilogue, but it is not needed. We got our closure even if some ends stayed loose. I think it suits Cassiel perfectly. Let her have some peace before trouble come knocking on her door again. And we know it will. Unfortunately we will never read about it.
