I have enjoyed this series throughout, and while I will say that the first book probably remains my favorite, this is definitely a satisfying conclusion! I am going to try to keep out all spoilers for the series, so this will probably be a shorter review!

The characters are, as always, a huge highlight. They take gray morality to the next level, and are undoubtedly antiheroes. And of this, they're not deluded, they fully understand that they are at the very least the villains of someone's story. But with their lives on the line, we can certainly feel sympathetic and understanding of their fight for survival.

The settings the books have taken place in are kind of fabulous. This one is no different, but I will keep it vague because where they end up is likely a spoiler. I will say though, it won't disappoint!

And yes, the plights of the characters are appropriately resolved, which is always my biggest worry in a series, so rest assured that the conclusion of this one will satisfy you! It is still a very dark book with a lot of brutality, but there is a sort of glimmer of hope, too.

Bottom Line: The Market of Monsters series is pretty much a hit from start to finish, so if you've been curious about it, now is a great time to dive in!
