What a good ending! Everyone ended up how I wanted them to, and I’m so excited to read the next trilogy in this world. The side character death hit me in the feels but I sort of wish it had been a main character. That would have been way more intense in my opinion. I love the idea of Nine as a teacher. One of my favorite things Lore did with this was he didn’t make the main character too good to or afraid to kill. Sure it had an effect on John and it was good to see that but he knew what he had to do and he knew there wasn’t an alternative way around it in the war. Overall, an amazing sci fi YA series and I love love love this whole cast of characters!!
