Description
By turns thrilling, witty, and heartbreaking, this dramatic conclusion to the Brilliant Death duet transports us to a Vinalia on the verge of transformation and radiates with the electric power of love.
With her power over magic finally in hand, and her love for Cielo at last confessed, Teodora di Sangro should be on top of the world. But the country of Vinalia is in chaos as the dictator like Capo threatens to plunge them all into war and capture every strega in the land--including Teo and Cielo.
Teo knows she can't take down the Capo alone. She must convince a small band of streghe who have been hiding in plain sight to join her in the cause. But as she struggles to bring them together, she discovers a far deadlier enemy than the Capo has been hunting her all along. Now everyone--especially Cielo--is in danger. What lengths will Teo go to in order to unite her country and save the one she loves?

The first like 30% felt a bit rushed, especially since some conflicts seemed to be solved a bit too easily and I felt like I missed some developments. I had the same feeling at the end but it wasn't that bad and overall I enjoyed the representation of gender fluidity, the depiction of feminism, choice, family, and freedom and what these mean in the end. I really liked that the message is less "you can be succesful as a woman too" and more "screw gender roles, they shouldn't decide whether someone is succsesful". Teo is certainly not a perfect protagonist but that makes Teo even more interesting. I sometimes just wishes that Teo had gotten more room for development - same for some side characters. The story felt much more plot-centered which was okay, it was fun to read, at least if you like some politics (and romance, because there is a lot of). It also felt like a satisfying ending for the series that is never really predictable and therefore quite captivating.
