By far the best part of this book is Seth and Caleb. I felt they really carried with their relationship. The ending of the book with the war and then the afterwards was fun. I liked seeing their lives after. I did feel like it was kind of anticlimactic though and I felt Lionel and Lavinia should have had worse deaths. I do feel things got wrapped up nicely, I’d have liked to read more about their kids. Also the last chapter said there’s more evil coming so I wonder if there will be more writing in a spinoff of their kids for that? Also I know why they didn’t kill off any main characters but I feel the battle would’ve been more impactful if one of the main characters was killed, not just Justin and Milton.

What an ending! I absolutely loved this series. It made me cry, laugh, fan myself, and cheer them on. This book was a great way to finish it off and I think the story closed up really nicely. It did feel a little slow at times but still great.

A few thoughts. Clyde felt a little too easy but I’m glad Lionel ended up being the big bad in the end. What was Max’s mom trying to say about Linda? Where is Vard? Lol

I love these characters and this was great!
