I am so sad that this series has ended. I enjoyed watching Sapphire's growth throughout the four books, but I felt like this final book just kind of ended and I was expecting a family reunion with Sapphire and Conor's mom and Rodger and Sadie and I was a little disappointed that we didn't get one.

:D loved the ending on this book. Although i always wanted some romance between Faro and Sapphire, yet it never happened. Elvira annoyed me throughout this book and sometimes i wished she wasnt part of it.

The series finished well. I was pleasantly surprised that the author wasn't fishing (no pun intended) for another novel. She completed the story and wrapped up the loose ends, but not in a typical way.

It's been a while since I read this so I don't really remember the whole story.

But I cried. I cried so much. Uncontrollably. Even after closing this book and putting it in the shelf I was still wailing in my heart with tears streaming down my face.

What I can remember is I loved the characters, the writing, the story, the fictional world. I loved how Dunmore described things. This series was beautiful. This book and the first one were my favorites.

Thank God I'm Finish.
Karena baca buku ini adlh siksaan. Ak kasih kreditlah untuk petualangan Saphy & Conor disini. Jd mengingatkanku betapa ak sll menginginkan kakak laki2, yg gk pernah ak punya.
Spoiler : ak senang Dad mati di ending, walau menghancurkan hati Saphy & Conor krn mereka kini tau dgn pasti Dad meninggal, setdknya kalo Dad mati, maka jika Mum, Conor & Saphy gk bisa memiliki Dad lagi maka Mellina & bayinya (siapapun namanya) juga gk akan memiliki Dad selamanya hahaha (evil laugh) --> pembaca kejam.

Perjalanan yang membuat pembacanya seakan-akan ikut memasuki dunia laut. Sayangnya untuk akhir cerita tidak cukup bagus karena masih ada beberapa yang belum dijelaskan, seperti ketika Sapphire bertemu dengan Ibunya di Pantai pada saat penyebrangan Ingo, yang mana sebelumnya si Ibu diceritakan sedang berada di Puncak. Sungguh membingungkan.

[Quick review from memory before I re-read it at a later date:

Or perhaps, don't re-read. The 4th book of the series. Bought from a cheap bookshop. Why don't books tell you the order of series in them any more? All I remember is disliking it. Rather a lot.]
