The best way to sum up my feelings about this book (and this series as a whole, really) is that nothing feels developed enough. It's like a cake. The core elements - the flour, sugar, eggs, etc. - are there, and they're good, but it wasn't put in the oven long enough so everything about it seems underbaked. Like you're about to sneeze and you know it's gonna be a good one, but it never comes. Or a 2D drawing that was meant to be a 3D rendering. 

In terms of specifics, the ending action was pretty good.
Although the most important chapter in the whole book, where Katherine changes allegiance and Mirabella dies, came across as a sketch or an outline, so didn't feel like the momentous event that it was. Mira dying at this point before she could really made an impact also just turned her into a non-character for me.
But apart from that, I don't have much else to say.

Que conclusão incrível! No geral, essa série surpreende muito, nunca se sabe que personagens vão sobreviver ou qual será o próximo grande plot twist. Infelizmente, esse foi o último plot twist, e que reviravolta! Entre rainhas vivas e mortas, os segredos da Ilha são revelados, a relação entre as trigêmeas, apesar de ainda muito conturbada, se apoia mais do que nunca nos laços de irmandade e a névoa continua a aterrorizar Fennbirn. Jules Milone assume seu papel como rainha da legião ao lado de Emília e os rebeldes se unem para retirar Katherine do poder, iniciando uma nova era para a Ilha. Mas será que é isso o que a Deusa realmente quer? Nessa conclusão descobrimentos finalmente quem assume o Trono e quem fica vivo pra contar a história.
