Yes, she is still my least favorite character for being for colonization and how she treated Laila, and I do like seeing how she grew throughout the story. I also didn’t mind Helene’s point of view. I don’t remember the name of the Commandment’s mom, but OMG!! Commandment = lovey. I definitely raced through some parts, but those were the action parts (like when Dex sacrificed himself, or the battle between Helene and the Commandment).
In fact, I love that Laia defeated/gets rid of the Nightbringer with the power of love and stories. This magic system is so unique and I agree with another review I read: THERE IS NO DEUS EX MACHINA. The first two books seem more political fantasy focused while the last two books have this element as well as containing a lot of action and magic. I feel like the series can be divided up into two parts: AEITA and ATATN and then ARATG and ASBTS. I read A Thief Among the Trees in October of this year and now I’ve finally done it!! I finished a series this year!!! I then read A Torch Against the Night and A Reaper at the Gates in September 2018 in the span of three days (I honestly don’t remember doing this but I am proud and also wonder how I managed to do that). I first read An Ember In The Ashes in January 2018.
I 100% stand by this statement: THIS IS HOW YOU END A SERIES. Listen, I only checked my laptop and phone twice when reading this book from 8:15 a.m. If so, here is another warning: my style of writing reviews is VERY incoherent after I’ve read a really great book that is amazing and makes me want to cry and also just stare at the ceiling for a few hours contemplating my life choices. If you are here, I am assuming you’ve read the entirity of A Sky Beyond the Storm by Sabaa Tahir. IF YOU READ MY REVIEW AND GET SPOILED, YOU WILL BE SAD. DO NOT READ THIS REVIEW UNTIL YOU HAVE READ IT. I AM TELLING YOU NOW TO NOT LOOK IF YOU HAVE NOT READ A SKY BEYOND THE STORM. THERE WILL BE MAJOR SPOILERS THROUGHOUT THIS REVIEW OF A SKY BEYOND THE STORM.
