Great series overall, after about halfway thru the third book I got a little bored. The epilogue especially felt unnecessarily long but did wrap up everything in a nice little bow. Love these characters and would still recommend this book!

adventurous emotional tense slow-paced

3.5

I am happy with the resolution but honestly James just drove me nuts. Instead of running to Cordelia and telling her the truth (which she would totally understand) so they could finally be truly together, he decides that he couldn’t bear her pity and keeps it a secret, driving the wedge between them even deeper for more than half the book?!?? Like why?!?? Just so the book can be long?! More drama? We’ve had two other books of drama, just let us have some relief! Also the “final battle” starts and there’s 16 hours left in the audiobook still?!?! It’s just too much!
