I wish the girls had spent more time together.
I wish there was less expectation that gavril and moria would be together. Why can't they just be friends???
I disliked the ending.

Ah ... the end of a series. I really liked this trilogy. This started off right where book two ended ... I was listening to audio again and I noticed some slight changes (in Moria's voice, in the pronunciation of "Kitsune") and double checked and sure enough, different narrator. Sorry to say ... I was okay with that, and I liked this narrator better.
I really think this world and these characters will stay with me for a while. I was watching my son's basketball game while listening to the end of this book, and got a little emotional (over the book, not the game).
Parental Perspective - there is a lot of violence, no profanity, and this book more than the others a little delve into "sexual congress" (nothing explicit, in fact, it was almost humorous, Moria's innocence, q&a). Depending on how strict readers/parents are, it could cross the comfort zone.

What I Loved
I’m 99% sure it’s impossible for me to not love a Kelley Armstrong book. Seriously! Or maybe she’s just that incredible (which I’d believe). I loved the sister relationship in this book. I don’t think there’s enough of those, especially in fantasy. Sometimes there’s the whole younger.older sibling thing going on but it was nice to see sisters as equals. I think that’s probably my favourite part of this whole series. These sisters really work together and know each other. Also they eat have a special guardian (a pet) who helps watch over them and I really love how they interact with everyone.
What I Didn't Like
I had nothing wrong with this whole series, not just the book. I did wish that my ship would have won but we can’t always get what we want, can we? I maybe wish that there was a little something more to this series but it was still good. Not unbelievable or amazing but really good and I’m happy with how it turned out.
Who I'd Recommend This To
I’d recommend this to anyone looking for an easy fantasy book to read. This one isn’t too complicated or long which makes it pretty easy to get swept into. It would also be great for anyone just starting out in fantasy that wants to get a little taste of the potential of the genre.

The book seemed to be more devoted to romance than action. Some parts were predictable, but a satisfying end to the trilogy. The part about the children was particularly anti-climactic.

Ok seriously, Armstrong? How do you set up a passionate, complex, interracial couple and then abandon it in the final freaking book? I mean, don't get me wrong, the rest of the story was phenomenal but how in the hell is Tyrius a better match for Moria than Gavril? You literally set this shit up from the get-go and just threw it away because Mr. Princey became more of an important character than you originally planned? Uh-uh. It didn't feel genuine at all and waaayyyy out of character. So Imma pretend that shit didn't happen and that Gavril and Moria end up together post-series. Because THAT WAS THE SHIP YOU GOT US INVESTED IN FROM DAY ONE. I CANT EVEN RIGHT NOW.

This book was everything I've come to expect from Kelley Armstrong for the first three quarters of the book. The tension between Moria and Gavril, the sweet sensitive power of Ashyn, the building mystery. And then we had this climatic scene that isn't the end and the rest of the book felt forced and cobbled together.
The story arc clearly is over and Armstrong takes a risk with the ending that I think would have been more satisfying if she had taken it all the way. Instead there is still an openness there that is a risk in itself. I think it all would have worked better had the climatic scene been the end instead of the actual end. But it's easy to criticize and overall this did a fine job of concluding the series.

I really loved this series. I couldn’t stop. There were twists and turns and excitement that kept the pages turning.
I like how the author ended the book. Gav and Moria are good friends. But in my mind I see the two of them becoming more. Just because they aren’t together at the end of the book doesn’t mean they don’t get together later. I like how she left that open.

It was entertaining, and it made me not hate Moria anymore. But the ending was so, SO unsatisfactory.
