Description
The war on the ground has ended, but the war with the sky has just begun. After the Siege of the Six Villages, the ghost eagles have trapped Uztaris on both sides of the conflict. The villagers and Kartami alike hide in caves, huddled in terror as they await nightly attacks. Kylee aims to plunge her arrows into each and every ghost eagle; in her mind, killing the birds is the only way to unshackle the city’s chains. But Brysen has other plans.
While the humans fly familiar circles around each other, the ghost eagles create schemes far greater and more terrible than either Kylee or Brysen could have imagined. Now, the tug-of-war between love and power begins to fray, threatening bonds of siblinghood and humanity alike.

"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?
