I have conflicting thoughts about this book. Firstly, I read the initial series many years ago so my recollection on characters and plot points was sketchy. I'd probably have enjoyed this slightly more had I read it as a direct continuation.

Secondly, I felt the ending and resolution slightly rushed. I enjoyed the build up, the separate POVs, and the basis of the book but felt the execution towards the end could have been polished and more refined.

Saying this, it was lovely to be back in this world, with these characters, who meant so much to me as a teenager.

I slightly resented that Laurel didn't have a bigger role in this book, but other than that, it was the perfect closure. We got to see what became of the main cast and how the events of the previous book affected them as well as others.
Loved the fact that Rowen's story arc is fundamentally the opposite of Laurel's. Was very interesting to see through her eyes.

Loved, loved, loved getting back to Tam and Laurel, but the ending was very very underwhelming...

This is between 3 to 3.5. It was nice to see the aftermath of the main characters from Wings. Really loved seeing Chelsea appear (: I didn't like Rowen but I could see where she came from which was understandable why she was bratty. Liked the little surprise towards the conclusion. I'm glad I officially completed the series.
