The conclusion of Nefilim series. The World War II: fractions of nefilim are fighting among themselves, and daimons are preparing for attack.

All the characters are back, and they show how they're grown. Alas, it also meant a bunch of them, and I felt nobody got their time to shine. It all happened pretty fast, with much telling, and emotions weren't as strong as in the previous book. 

The stakes are high but somehow muddled, rushed, and the threat didn't feel as prevalent. The various plot lines didn't blend as well as previous books, and there was a lot of repetition. The nefil spies-is captured- is trethened and/or tortured- tries to escape; and then repeat with every character. 

My concerns aside, the series as a whole was pretty satisfying. First book was the best, the second I've read in one sitting, and prequels offered a nice insight into worldbuilding and characters.
