i'm excited for the final book though and i'm hoping there is some improvement with her character development now that the gangs all back together but i'm not feeling optimistic about that just yet. i have NO IDEA how they're going to wrap up this whole series in book 9 considering they just introduced a new all-powerful villain in the last 2% of this book but i'd be shocked if this wasn't the last book since it's being read by their beta readers rn. i don't think i'm going to read beyond the veil anytime soon just because i have a feeling it'll be like the awakening atbtb and repeat the plot of things that have already happened just from the pov of other characters and i would rather read that after i've had a little break from the series, for obvious reasons. i was originally planning on reading darkmore penitentiary now but i think i'll wait til after book 9 in case of spoilers😭

_alyssar_'s review against another edition

The story has been building and building over the first 7 books and then randomly in the last 10-15% of book 8, a bunch of loose ends get tied up, only for the whole story to unravel again in the last couple of chapters and leave us on a weird cliffhanger. Not only that, but the next two books in the series are apparently backtracks from different perspectives - the next one says it’s a retelling of the first book from the Heirs’ POV, and the currently final book in the series (book 10) says it’s a retelling from the POV of those that have passed. So we’ll be left on this cliffhanger with no foreseeable ending through at least two more books before we can pick up and go again.
The first few books really sucked me in, but the story is now spiraling wildly out of control with no ending in sight - pretty disappointed, as I’m now invested in this story through the first several books, but after book 8, I’m not sure I want to continue, despite still wanting to see how things turn out.
