I think this was the first one without negative self-commentary on FMC's body? Finally!

Worthy end to the series, though reading it all in one go, it felt a little like this was jumping the shark a bit. I'm still not totally sure what the Resistance was resisting against, exactly, and why...? So that's annoying. Probably should have taken some breaks in between books to make it less intense though. 

But, lots of spice, some good scenes, twists, and turns, and emotions (

though Vivian's death was a bit unnecessary??

). Liked the HEA, and many many plus points for NOT being pregnant in the epilogue.

I’m not gonna lie, at this point of the six books series, I’m just reading the last book in order to find out how this series concludes. As all the bonds have been formed and all the relationships are intact, I really miss the banter, and the drama between Oli and her bonded. It made me realize that I enjoyed the first four books, so much because of the drama in the banter between the characters. It made it really fun and enjoyable.

Let’s be honest, all of us were hoping for a detailed and entertaining smut scene in this book and I personally felt unsatisfied.

The rest of the book was really just filling in those plot holes that have been there since the first book and wrapping up the series. I found the ending to be an enjoyable, and I was just passively listening to it in the background.
