After reading the first two books and rating them both five stars I was nervous this one would not hold up. While it was not my favorite of the trilogy it definitely held up and was an excellent conclusion to all of the story set up in the first two books. I had no lingering questions, and while I would always want more time with these characters I think it ended perfectly.

I loved it so much. Cardan and Jude are so perfect for each other. His character development is so good and she is so badass. They are such the power couple. Fuck Madoc though. I’m glad Locke is dead. The Bomb and the Roach are so cute together, I’m glad he’s okay, and I hope in the future Taran and The  Ghost end up together. Really good action and twists. And i love that in the end everything made sense.
