Well, here we are. As sad as I am to see this series end, it's always a good feeling when things wrap up and all the loose ends come together to provide closure in a series.
1. Characters: Damen. What can I say? His character certainly showed his flaws in this book. Honestly though, it made him more real. He finally showed some insecurity, some selfishness, some genuineness. There wasn't as much development between Ever and Aunt Sabine as I had hoped, but I'll take what I can get. I still really like Ever and I think many of the secondary characters finally received some due attention in this book.
2. Story: Here's where I got hung up on this one. I wasn't crazy about the middle of this book. Beginning, okay. Ending, satisfying. But the middle? I have to admit I skimmed over several parts quickly ready to move past them and "get to something good." The story just didn't feel as natural as the rest of the series to me, and that makes me sad. Some parts felt rushed and some felt drawn out.
3. Author's Writing Style: I still really enjoy Alyson Noel's writing, and I will absolutely check out her other works.
4. Overall Rating: 3.5 Stars. Waaahhhhh, I really hoped I could wrap up this series with a 5 star rating, but that long stretch in the middle I skimmed through definitely prevents me doing so. However, I would still recommend this series to Teen/YA fantasy or paranormal fans! Check out the full series on Goodreads by clicking here.
