if i could give the ravenhood trilogy 1000 stars, i would. i f*cken love this series sososo much. while i went through a roller coaster of emotion & i’m probably going to need at least 10 therapy sessions to do damage control, i’d read this trilogy 10’s over for the first time again. Reservation to get my heart torn out, party of one please 🤪

After the disappointment the last book was, I only gave this one a chance because I really did enjoy the first one. Cecilia is basically Bella Swan if she was angrier and more vindictive; but ultimately she’s still Bella f*ing Swan. Prepare to read New Moon all over again but mostly the part after she goes to Italy. This book was only slightly better than Exodus and for some reason the author tells you the end of the story from the beginning. I will never deign to reread this.

So I debated even picking this one up because of how the last book ended. But I'm glad I read this one and saw how this trilogy ended, even though this one was just repetitive. I wish we would've gotten to focus a little bit more on their life together, but instead, the book's biggest goal was him proving to Cecelia this time, it is for real, and it will work. So I think it would've been fun to go on these big missions that we got to get glimpses of at the end as they reflect on their life as they retire.

I thought I was okay with the ending of book two but this final chapter of Tobias’ and Cecilia’s story is the perfect wrap up of the series. Cecilia’s character arc from beginning to end of the series is one of my favorites — a true coming of age story. The ways that Stewart honored Dom in this book were also some of the best parts of this book. Add in romance, spice, and some moments to put you on the edge of your seat and you have a winning book.

CECELIA YOU BAD BITCHHHHH! You outsmarted and beat the master at his own game! This whole series was incredible and I was not expecting that ending. I think this was my favorite of the series, dual POV with Tobias and Cecelia, that’s how it should have been for all of the books in my opinion. I am confused on why the epilogue with Sean was the same in both exodus and the finish line though? I loved these books so much I had to buy the physical copies of them. 💕

I enjoyed the dual POV of this book and the growth of Cecilia, but felt this book was too long and could have been cut back significantly. I did enjoy the twist near the end showing how badass Cecilia is.
