thenerdycowgirl's review against another edition

I enjoyed it but not as much as the previous 2.
I reread both the previous books right before reading this one so they were fresh in my mind and I actually enjoyed the beginning and seeing the juxtaposition between her initial time with Ash and her current time with Kolis, and seeing how he responded compared to the way Ash responded to similar situations and what a messed up monster he is.
But what i didn’t like was the ending. *Possible spoilers* but i think since there’s one more book it should’ve ended with her ascension.
“Essence wrapped and churned around me, crackling and spitting sparks, encasing me in its light until it was all i saw. All i became.” End. Boom!
I would’ve been SO hyped for the next book! What does that mean?! Did she survive? What does that mean for the rest of the primals? Etc. But instead we end with stuff that would’ve been the perfect beginning to the next book, Ash speaking to her through her stasis reminded her of their memories and such. Then the last 50 pages is literally NOTHING but them screwing over and over! Ugh!

good ending
I love JLA and this story. I like how it ties in the FBAA books. However, the first, approximately 60% of this book dragged on. The number of pages in this book could have been significantly decreased. Maybe it is because this is my second time reading through the whole series but I really struggled getting through the first half of this time. The second half I had absolutely no issues with it and finished quickly. Overall, I’d recommend this book if you can get past the multitude of internal monologues in the beginning.

This book was pretty frustrating to read. Far too much of it was spent in the same place, with days that were not nearly different enough. The plot didn't really start to move until about three-quarters of the way through the book. It was SO slow.
Not enough questions were answered from the previous two books, and it honestly felt like a filler.

The book could have easily been 200 pages.
