Rezension von Natália Oliveira<blockquote><b><i>"There's no shame in breaking...You just have to put yourself back together again."</i></b></blockquote>A solid end to a trilogy that took me by surprise. I first started Ash Princess not expecting much, but color me surprised when I found myself enjoying the world and the characters as the story went on. Theo is such a great MC, she has an amazing story arc with a solid development through the books - you can see her becoming a leader and a Queen in her own right. In this novel, especially, she's at the top of her game, understanding when sacrifices need to be made, thinking of the whole, and acting coldly and rationally instead of acting on emotion. The rest of the crew is just as great, they all have a role to play, especially in this book, and we get to see more of Heron in action, as well as my favorite couple ErikxHeron. The story goes into a predictable route (I mean, I guessed a character death by halfway through book 2), but that didn't put me off at all - even knowing what was probably going to happen, I was still interested in reading more. I liked how everything wrapped up, the decisions Theo made at the end, especially concerning the Kalovaxians and Cress. I had an issue with a couple of things, that prevented me from giving this final book 5 stars: the epilogue and the introduction of a very unnecessary character. Maile is the most annoying, useless character in this book by far - she was introduced to create a bit of dissent among our group, be annoying, appear in about a dozen scenes, and be paired up with a more important character with whom she has NO chemistry. We don't see the pairing being developed at all, is just tossed at us and we're expected to buy it. And talking about useless things....let's talk about how that epilogue shouldn't exist because there's NO NEED for it. It doesn't add anything new, no valuable information, there isn't even a jump to the future to see how our characters are going. The final scene from the final chapter was a perfect ending on its own, there was no need for more. These are minor stuff compared to the rest, but I need to point it out. Overall, it was a solid ending, and I'm gonna miss these characters and this world, more than I thought I would when I first started.
