I'm really sad that I didn't really like this series. I was really engaged with this last book, but I found that my problems lie within the main character. I actually don't really like Binti, and I thought this all the books, but particularly this one, have a YA trope quality to them that I really don't like. I just felt like Binti annoyed me sometimes, and I felt like a lot of things from the previous books were mentioned in a repetitive way, when the reader will probably remember those things.
I still loved the world though, and the imagery was amazing, but Binti's character really got on my nerves.
