Third and final book of Mara's life and what has been a whirlwind of activity in just a few short months of her life. We learn many of her secrets and find out who she can truly trust and love in this book. I adored the banter between her and Jamie Roth, they were meant to be best friends, Daniel plays an integral part of story in all three books, but shows his true strength as her older brother in this book. I loved this and I'm happy with how it ended. Very well written, I'm definitely going to be looking for more books by Michelle Hodkin!

I went into this story, having no clue what to expect. Since one of the best parts of the Mara Dyer trilogy for me, is that it’s so mysterious, going in without any expectations was the best thing I could have done.
This book kept me on my toes. I never had a solid guess as to what was going to happen next, thanks to the fact that Hodkin makes you question everything.
The beginning was a little confusing, and hard to follow along, but to me this felt purposeful. Mara, the narrator, has no idea what’s happening, so why should we?
There were times that there was a lot of info dumping, but it didn’t feel overwhelming or frustrating, probably because I was so invested in the characters that I just needed to know what was happening.
The climax for this book seemed right for this series. No big fights. No dramatic flares. It was just your mind working in overdrive trying to figure out how the hell they could get out of this situation.
The last chapter broke me and the epilogue was a total mind eff. It left me with the question of ‘holy shit, maybe it’s all real?’ which is a testament to Hodkin’s talent.
Overall I really loved this book. There were some parts, like the character Stella, that could have been stronger, but the positive feels outweighed the negative by a landslide.

I honestly can't believe I never marked this as read, but I also can't believe it's already been like two and a half years since I read it.

Anyway, I'm awful at reviews these days. Hell, I'm lucky if I even read a book anymore, life is so busy and exhausting. Nevertheless, I will say something.

This series is and has always been my absolute favorite. These books are in my top five list of favorites. I read the first one nearly six years ago now, and yet it has stayed with me all this time. It never left me. And I know that it never will. This story and these characters mean more to me than I could ever say.

This book was a phenomenal way to end the series. I think it's my favorite of all three. I got so much of what I wanted, and I'm eternally grateful. Michelle Hodkin has never let me down. I'll carry these stories with me forever.

Finally, I am absolutely ecstatic for The Shaw Confessions. Noah Shaw is one of my most favorite characters who I will love and protect even after death. I am on the edge of my seat waiting to read his story.

Thank you, Michelle. For everything and more.

Subiektywnie, najgorsza z tych trzech bo nie przepadam za motywem wędrówki i była też najbardziej “fantastyczna” a to też jakoś mi nie siada. Mimo wszystko baaardzo mi się podobała cała trylogia i mam nadzieję że na długo ze mną zostanie, możliwe że powędruje na podium moich ulubionych książek. A to jak epilog pięknie łączy się z prologiem… MIÓD

Crying noises it was perfect goodbye

i love the characters in the series and the ending made decent sense but the entire book just felt unnecessary and drawn out. i think it could’ve easily been a duology

i liked this book then i didn't then i was meh. i don't know. i didn't like the ending. it also felt a little like percy jackson but bloodier at times, and it felt like a cliché action movie at other times. overall opinion: meh, didn't reach up to my expectations or the quality of the previous books in the series.

I loved these books. I was so intrigued by the writing that I flew through them and am so sad they're over now. It was a really unique and intriguing story.

Me quedé sin palabras cuando terminé este libro. Me siento con un vacío tremendo, después de haber estado todo este tiempo apañando a Mara con todo y temiendo por su vida, amando sus poderes y sus aventuras. Esta trilogía consumió un poco mi vida el último mes y me castigo por haberla dejado a medias la primera vez que la leí. 
Mencantaron los personajes, las cosas que ocurren, los giros de trama y toda la narración de Mara impredecible y en la que a veces no puedes confiar. 
Definitivamente esta historia es única, y me encantó cómo terminó. La última frase me dejó con la boca abierta, debo admitir 🤭
Me gustaría leer la trilogía de Noah que viene después de esta porque creo que sé por donde va la cosa, pero el 3 libro aún no se publica. Lleva demasiados años sin ser publicado y por lo que leí no hay ni siquiera un indicio de que lo será ☹️ Quizá la curiosidad me gane, pero por ahora lo dejaré esperando.
