4-6Healing Wars series.
In this concluding volume, Nya is torn between her duty to the underground resistance and her vow to rescue her sister. Hardy's creative fantasy premise, which turns pain into a commodity to be removed, stored, and weaponized, continues to shine as she explores moral questions. Nya is a humble and appealing protagonist even as she becomes the center of a cult of personality.
