This is the final book in the trilogy, and covered a long span of time. The first book was less than a year. The second was a little over 2 years. This one covered 20 years in the same page length. I gave 5 stars to the first two, but marked this down a bit because I found it dragged a little in places. But I didn’t mark it down much because the exciting bits were REALLY exciting. Lee is one of these authors who is willing to kill off sympathetic characters, so you can never be sure if a character is going to survive the current ordeal. When somebody was kidnapped at one point, I stayed up 2 hours late to find out whether they’d escape or not.

This final book in the Green Bone Saga is quite the feather in the cap. It takes place across multiple decades, showing our characters age and come into their fates, making choices that put them at odds with each other, showing long time plans come to fruition and falter. I particularly like how this final instalment shows the begrudging respect between rival clan members and how military industrial complex and international governments impact Kekon. I can’t recommend this series enough
