5.0

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.

A nice ending to the trilogy. I returned yet again to see all the #Jurdan content I have craved. Now I can click through all the pinterest fanart without getting spoilers, finally.
