Rezension von Natália Oliveira<blockquote><b><i>“The world is changing. We cannot deal with the problem as we have in the past, or we will always end up where we started.”</i></b></blockquote> I'm happy to have finished this trilogy, though it's not my favorite fantasy ever. It did end on a semi-high note and left me at least a bit satisfied, so it's ok. Still, I wanted a bit more since the first book was one of my favorite reads in 2016. While I complained about the pace in the previous novel, in this one I think the beginning was very rushed and things were not properly developed (I mean, Meira spend what, 2 weeks training her powers and it was enough? Suddenly she knew exactly what to do? C'mon *face palm*). Still, it was a faster read than the second book and there was a lot going on and some major tension in the air at all times. I do think Meira had a character development here, and she embranced her rola as a leader and a queen and stopped acting so afraid of herself, her powers and her position, but still I think she aften sounded more a like the reckless girl from book one than the mature woman/queen she was supposed to be. I was excited for Ceridwen's POV, but while at first it was interesting, in the end it contributed little to the story and this badass, no-shit character was reduced to a damsel in distress. She was built as a fighter and a resistance leader in "Ice Like Fire", but she succumbed fast and was more of a pawn than ever. Mather and Meira's chemistry...I'm sorry, but it's non-existent. The entire relationship is kinda forced and bleh and I just couldn't care for them or ship them together. It was so cliché it hurt. I expected more focus on Theron after all that happened in the end of the previous book, but we barely see the consequences, except for this very emotional scene in the end (which made me tear up, I just want my idealistic baby happy and whole!). Meira was absolutely selfish and cruel when it came to him, though she did realize that by the end and compensated it somewhat. There were some surprises along the way, some very angst and tense scenes, but the battle was a little bit flat and the ending was just ok. I mean, it wasn't bad, and it was well done and well written, but I was already expecting something of the kind to happen, so I didn't feel the impact of it as much as the author intended. Like I said, it wasn't brilliant, but it was a satisfying book and a good, although obvious, conclusion to the trilogy. I'm happy to be done with another series I've been meaning to finish!
