I really struggled to complete this series, especially this last book. It amazes me that a book can be simultaneously captivating and boring. I have a hard time putting into words how I feel about it. The world and characters are full of magic and intrigue, yet the writing tends to extend too far, dragging you past the point of interest and into boredom. I want so badly to love this series and everything that happens in it, but it was a chore to read it through to the end.

“Life isn’t made of choices,” said Holland. “It’s made of trades. Some are good, some are bad, but they all have a cost.”

this book is CHONKY and so bittersweet, but i loved it. an epic end for an epic story. holland's chapters omg, my poor baby 😭 he was already so compelling from the moment he appeared, i'm happy he got to become so fleshed out.

kell and lila are everything. girlhusband and malewife for life. rhy and alucard 4ever.

“Love and loss,” he said, “are like a ship and the sea. They rise together. The more we love, the more we have to lose. But the only way to avoid loss is to avoid love. And what a sad world that would be.”

i powered through this series and i'm so sad it's over but i'll definitely be reading threads of power.

Loved this, a great end to the series. But it was long and there was a lot happening. I had to keep going back to check things earlier in the book and even earlier in the series a couple of times. Just a warning that it’s a brain engaged kind of book! In the plus side we get so many delightfully fleshed out characters and some really good development for our main gang who I love deeply with all my heart.

I liked this one more than the second one, but this one had more Holland in it so.... 🤷🏼‍♀️

Gotta love tragic bad guy backstory. One part even almost made me cry!

Kel and Leilah still aren't super believable to me, but the sex scene was hot.

It was over all really good. First one was the best one, though I wish more of Hollands backstory was in it. But we got it here.
