 Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, as I've seen many negative reviews on this last book. However I can say I really enjoyed this entire series, including this book. As sad as I am to be leaving these characters for good, I'm glad there's no plans for them in the future, as they have gone through a lot. If you haven't read this series yet I highly recommend you do!
