Series ✦ Penny’s Take
The Girl and the Moon
Mark Lawrence · 2023
78/100
👍 Worth It
Lawrence sticks the landing on a genuinely inventive ice-world trilogy, and the fact that this conclusion leans hopeful rather than grimdark makes it feel like a reward for readers who stuck with Yaz from the start. It demands you read books one and two first, but if you have, this is a satisfying, emotionally resonant close.
