Received as a review copy from Story Origin, this is an honest review. This gorgeous adventurous trilogy comes to a close as they two separate timelines of Treaz and Omani merge as both women are finally able to meet to face to face... at least for a while. Things get complicated as Vanguard works to enact an amount of revelation against Treaz, Pearl Man and others of their group as they work to shut Vanguard down for good. Shocking revelations are revealed as Treaz, Pedra and Pearl Man discovers how Vanguard cares for these forced to work as Transitioners. Even after Treaz earns the right to be herself once more, the journey that she endured has left its mark upon her life that will take time to process; with many pieces of her past that finally get out together. Highly recommended.
