Brilliant Conclusion
Brilliant conclusion to the series that once again does not just continue the story, but expands it and builds something else on top of the foundation.

The second book is as good as the first!
The story keeps evolving and expanding without losing focus. A rare trilogy where the second book is at least as good as the first.

Slow but hard-hitting
I love this series! It's one of the great modern sci-fi books, in my opinion. It's not about action but the development of characters in a dystopian world. Very strong female characters.

Great read, I enjoyed it overall
The first book was very very good. Interesting and so different. This book is less everything but still good. Keeps you interested in the characters and the narrative. The plot is a bit confusing. I’ll definitely read the next one but I’m not in any hurry, if that makes sense.

Not quite as brilliant as The Fifth Season
While not quite as intriguing as the first in the series, it was still a good read

No "second book slump" here!
Brilliant story, superbly narrated. Some wonderful set piecepieces and the unfolding mystery kept me listening in the car after I'd reached my destination several times :-) I'm really looking forward to the final volume.

Even better than the first one
If you read The fifth season, you already know.
If not, stay assured, it is still great.
I've consumed this one so fast it feel shorter. A lot happens and the plot thickens. You must remember what happened in the first book because this is a direct continuation, so be prepared.
All I said about the first one is still true. But I have to emphasize, the narrator work is even more flawless that last time. She does an amazing job voicing every character and in one moment in particular goes beyond simply voicing and gives the audiobook a very special thing that the book never could acomplished alone. Kudos to her, brilliant performance.
Now if you excuse me, I'm going to start the third one.

breathtaking
I loved this book, its imaginative world, its characters who keep developing, and the story itself which kept surprising me.

Best Books I've Read in Years
This entire trilogy was such a joy to read, even if it was quite dark in theme. Was so refreshing to have a true adult, fantasy/scfi storyline that didn't shy away from heavier topics. I was completely emersed until the very end. Best books I've picked up in many years
