The war is over, and reading through Juliette's story is such a mind-opening experience. You learn that you can be strong, that even if you're in a dark place you can rise and stand and eventually be out of that hole you buried yourself in for so long and it's just so magnificent! It proves that although things go wrong, and mistakes are made, and hearts fall for the wrong hearts, it all works out one way or another. Who cares if it takes a long time? The end product, the happiness, it's all worth it.

Mostly though, I just really really love Aaron and Juliette together. And how Juliette's mind works. It's so odd, reading her voice and seeing from her eyes. It makes you think and see things differently, even if only slightly.

I have to say though, honestly, that this is now my favourite trilogy ever, and Tahereh Mafi is also maybe kinda sorta one of my very favourite authors now.
