Lets start with the good points on this book. First I love the story development kinda oblivious at some point but still really clever and well thought out. With lots of interesting new characters.

To the bad points gosh lily is winey and pathetic. ....I was super enjoyed by her high moral talk and not forgiving anyone...because shes super perfect...and her moral worlds speech at the ending...sorry first the speech is weak and second somethings are just not fitting with some people. Just cringe worthy

The whole battlefield scene was super short sadly. But the super important prepar for the war were super duper boring....it felt like gum without flavour to read the book further.
What I hate as well is that the love story and the aftermath of the war is super short or nearly none existing. ..
And pathetic lily was super annoying because miss.moral perfect never does mistakes and judges everyone so she forgives the badass rowan at the end of the book...like really?
But even worse were the poor little woven and dialoges I witnessed in this book..like seriously. ..

The first book is still the strongest then comes the second.and trilogy typical the third is the weakest. Sadly....the third book had has potential to be the best one...but seriously the book felt sometimes like gum.

But I stilled enjoyed reading the book anyways

This is the final novel in the Worldwalker series, but to me it almost felt like it came from a completely different series. The plot of this series book a weird turn that felt very different from the first 2 books and it was not my cup of tea. I found this book sat in an awkward place between fantasy, science fiction and dystopian. I didn't know what the story wanted to be anymore. I felt like it was trying too be too many things at once. I would have DNF'd this book if it wasn't the last book in a series. I cared enough to know how it ended but I found myself putting off reading because of this book.

This was just a 2 star series for me. I do think I would recommend it, because there are many other series out there that are fantastic and this one just fell flat for me. I am happy I get to add it to my read series shelf but that's about it. I also noticed in the last book there might be some weird representation of native american's, I haven't seen anyone else talk about it but I would look out for that.

This was better than the last two books. It finally stopped revolving around Lily's feelings for Rowan and focused on the interesting part, the actual plot. While the Bower City stuff was pretty predictable, it was still good action and a satisfying conclusion to the series.

4.75/5
This book took me sooooo long to finish but not because I didn't like it (obviously) but because school is brutal and I have been so tired. Anyways..this book has been a refuge and I just loved the characters and the plot and world a lot. Rowan and Lily have my whole heart and also I have high hopes for Toshi and his life going forward. The friendships were sweet and I liked how everyone held each other accountable because it was realistic. Good trilogy and the ending was almost perfect :)

Got this book a month early because my bookstore already had it. I finished it in practically one sitting. I must say that this one is my favorite in the whole trilogy, and Miss Angelini wrapped the series up perfectly! Still, I do not think it can top her Starcrossed trilogy. Everyone: Go read both series!
