Maybe it has something to do with the way things are going in the world right now, but I found, during the reading of this final volume, that I'm fatigued with these YA series that culminate in big wars. I really missed those intimate character moments from the first book. Instead, it just kept sprawling out until there were so many characters and so much scope that I found it difficult to remember what I enjoyed about this series at the start. There's some good stuff in here, but I just felt really exhausted by the end of this book. I was having trouble distinguishing between the tertiary characters that were getting focus at different points of the battle. There just kept being more fighting and death and not enough of the people at the heart of the story connecting with each other.
