"When death has drawn your map of days, Best take your feet some other ways." My first rating below four stars this year. It started out very promising, though. I was drawn in immediatly and I almost no problems getting into the story despite having read the last intstallment years ago and remembering excactly nothing. But at some point I just started feeling lost. I couldn't keep up with the actions and decisions of any character in this book. I didn't understand the consequences, the train of thought entirely lost on me. (Maybe I'm too stupid or shouldn't have this book while barely managing to keep my eyes open, I don't know.) I loved the way this trilogy handles its LGBTQ characters, the writing style was good as well. I'd like to say that if you liked the first and/or second installment, you'll like this one but I can't. I don't think I've ever read a trilogy where each book just felt so completely different. It didn't get boring but it made setteling into this world a bit difficult, for me at least. My biggest complain would be: Nyall deserved better. It It felt like he was killed off just so that he didn't have to live on running after Kylee or face her rejection. He was a great character and I'm sure there would've been a more deserving solution for him. But maybe this is, again, just me and he died a hero's death I just didn't see?
