My Reaction in a Nutshell: 
 Anoshe 
 The Long Version: 
 Schwab knows how to write a book with just the right amount of humor, mystery, adventure, tragedy, plot twists, character development, world building, language, and friendship to create a masterpiece. 
 I just, I mean...MY CHILDREN. 
 Basically I'm going to try my best to actually not talk about the book in order to not spoil it. But first things first, can I have a Tieren in my life?!?!? 
 This books changes things up a bit by adding in flashbacks which I LOVED!!!!!! Perfection. Seriously. They are one of my favorite parts in this book. 
 Some favorite (non-spoilery) quotes: 
 "Who are you supposed to be?" 
 "I am the messenger. And you?" 
 "I am the thief." 
 brb SCREAMING 
 And then there's this one: 
 "You told me once that you were either magic's master or its slave. So which are you now?" 
 "That's what you don't understand. I have only ever been its slave." 
 And like THERE ARE SO MANY MORE AMAZING QUOTES BUT I CAN'T SHARE THEM BECAUSE OF SPOILERS!!!! 
 Basically, this is my favorite conclusion to a trilogy. Ever. It was perfect. Just the right amount of open-ended to keep you wanting more, but also be content to stop as well. 
 Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. 
 This book makes me want to reread the entire trilogy. 
 Anoshe.
