City of Dawn by Kat Ross
5.0
This was an absolutely wonderful ending to this series, and if the spin-off is still a thing that is happening in the future, I will not hesitate to pick it up.
This book is so outside the realm of what I usually fall in love with when it comes to a fantasy series. I generally like to steer clear of anything that even remotely mentions religion, let alone is so focused on religion. While it may not be a religion from reality, it is still firmly based around priests and the sort.
While the plot and the story line are absolutely amazing, so thorough, thought out and seamless, there is nothing better in this series than the characters, and let me tell you, there are quite a few of them. How Kat Ross produced so many fleshed out, deep, and realistic characters will forever remain a mystery to me. I loved them all, honestly, everyone, even the people I hated, I loved. I couldn't get enough of anyone. I was never disappointed when it was someone's pov instead of another. They all just worked so well together and fit into each other so perfectly. I couldn't have asked for better character dynamic, character development, or character personalities.
The magic system was so unique and a complete breath of fresh air that I needed so badly. So many of these fantasy series lately feel like rip-offs of one another and are basically the same story rewritten. The fact that this story is entirely its own and entirely unlike anything I've ever read before is everything.
I can't rave enough. Highly, highly recommend this series.
