This book really held up on a reread. The stakes constantly felt high, the characters were great, the deaths meant something, cool villains, great plot twists, etc, etc. This book was a great capstone to the series!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rereading this, it's obvious how much the orantium thing is built up. There are a lot of times people are like "if only we had a huuuge amount of orantium" and whatnot. We also see the Maumet (which I think is awesome btw I love that fight) do a ~big explosion~ and stuff like that. Not that the mountain location was foreshadowed, but the power of orantium and how much of a role it had to play was.
LOVED Nedwin's last chapter - I forgot that plot twist and I loved it.
Rachel dealing with the torivors & Maldor is a great scene too, that girl could've killed Maldor on her own (w/ the torivors), orantium or no orantium. Anyway, I loved this book and this series. It's full of great characters and worldbuilding.
Best: How I as a reader really felt the deaths ( AND ALSO FERRIN NOW THAT I REMEMBERED)
Worst: There's quite a lot of Rachel going "hmm is the prophecy real or isn't it we're all doomed oh noooo" Fortunately, at the end she does something finally and it's really cool.

AAHHHH I FORGOT ABOUT FERRIN AT THE END I LOVED THAT SCENE AND THAT SPEECH SO MUCH THAT WHOLE SCENE WAS AMAZING
