Darkdawn by Jay Kristoff

Holy smokes, what a crazy wild, epic and emotional ride this book was.

I should mention if you have not read and finished book two, this review will spoil some stuff for you.

The book starts off pretty much where book two left us hanging and of course Mia is totally shocked but that doesn’t stop her and she jumps right into action to save and take Jonnen with her and the crew.

 Mia also gets some other nasty and some shocking surprises all the way through the book. But no matter what she stays true to herself and others she loves and cares for. When it comes down to it she really has a soft heart.
It is hard to write a review to this stunning book, because there is so much and most of all I don’t want to spoil anything.

All I can say is that this book is breathtaking and will keep your heart rate going and maybe even will break your heart a bit, but if you liked the first two books you will love this one and how it all ends.

As a site note, I loved all the snarky remarks Kristoff left throughout the book about the writing style, it was hilarious and gave the series a nice touch.

I was curious how it all would end, I must say I was very satisfied and enjoyed the ending.  But I will miss not only the series but also the characters. Farewell my friends.

I give it a full 5 ★ for not only the book but the entire series.

My strong dislike of Ashlin has lessened my enjoyment of this book. Also, the flowery and pretentious writing started bothering me. That being said, this book is saved by the small moments between all the supporting characters and the footnotes. I enjoyed the footnotes throughout the series. The chosen one quest that came out of nowhere (or I just wasn't paying all that much attention) was dumb. The narrator of the audiobook was sometimes so over the top that it was difficult to listen to the story. They should have had two narrators, one for all the female characters and one for all the male ones.
