“Maybe that’s why heroes belonged solely in his stories, because real life was messy and gray, and he no longer assumed choosing the wrong path made him evil.”
 
Crown of Salt and Bones is the epic conclusion of The Azantian Trilogy and I’m feeling satisfied with how everything got wrapped up. 
 
This story started right after the ending of the 2nd book, to be honest it’s been a while since I read the 2nd book so I forgot some things but thankfully as I read on there’s a little bit of info along the way that manage to jog my memory about what happen in the previous book. 
 
The world building is expanding as Margrete explore the realm where the Gods rules. It was exciting seeing new places and also meeting all the different rulers of each realms. 
I absolutely love the show of power from Margrete, that last battle was epic!  
 
Darius's redemption arc is one of my favorite parts of the story and also the scene with Bash’s mother. While she didn’t appear long but her actions spread warmth in my heart. 
Such an emotional read with unexpected twists along the way makes this book so hard to put down! 
 
Overall, this is a great ending to the series. While I’m sad to see this series comes to an end, I feel satisfied knowing the characters in this story has a happy ending. 
I’m looking forward to read more books from this author in the future, maybe a story abour Margrete’s sister – Birdie would be great! 
 
I received an advanced review copy for free from the author, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Huge thank you to the author and publisher!
