BOOK REVIEW : Let me preface this by saying the only reason this book has been given four stars was due to my absolute adoration of the series as a whole. This book on its own, however, had enough dislikable elements that resulted in a finale I can only describe as disappointing. With Silas now dead, we are introduced into the world of the reawakened gods, something that was described, battled and resolved, all in a single book. This was the biggest and most prominent issue for me, followed by Vivian’s unnecessary death, and the cease of character development entirely. I really wish that Tragic Bonds had been the conclusion to this otherwise incredible series, including a six part epilogue featuring a small, final perspective from each of the main characters.      

“At least I got to meet each of them. If only for a few moments in a thousand lifetimes, I got to know those who complete my soul.” 

Ultimately, Oli and her harem of stubborn, hotheaded, addictive men will always have my heart, this series living rent free on my list of all time favourites.

1.0

By far the worst in the series. Reading it was painful and I had to force myself to finish it because it’s the last book. 

The god-bonds are uneventful for how afraid everyone was. They were a waste of writing. 

We never quite get that reverse harem feel you’d expect. The hottest scene was Oli, Nox & North

Amazing conclusion, I teared up a bit but amazing! These characters will stick with me for a long time. I love the magic system and I would adore books about the side characters or a prequel following the side characters, or both!

An end to an era! This has been a long journey but what a wrap up! The way they've all grown individually and together has been a trip!! I love the dynamics that are of them share and the just general boyish-ness of them was always entertaining.
Definitely a top series for me!

Rating:⭐⭐,5

Unfortunately I was quite disappointed with this book. I really loved the rest of the series and had high expectations but the book didn't live up to them.

A lot of things happened that should've either taken place in previous books or not at all. And because they were introduced so late in the story they had no real impact. There were new bad guys that were supposedly extremely powerful but were killed like they where nothing. Also new magical lore was mentioned and it was supposed to be really important but was never really explained. There were just some flashbacks from the characters previous lives and some mentioned about old gods being reborn and that's it. Also I didn't understand why Sage's other bond was mentioned so much when his character had no real impact to the story.

Things just felt really rushed in general and there were plot holes still left open. Also “SPOILER ALERT” I don't understand why Vivian had to die. What was the reason of that happening? Especially given that he died off screen and had no real impact to the plot of the book. All it accomplished was to piss me off because yet again my favorite character died. “END OF SPOILER ALERT”

Also I think Nox was forgiven way too easily. I understand that he had gone through a lot of trauma but that was no excuse to act the way he did.

In general I don't think the book had any real reason to exist. It should've just ended when Davies died because in my opinion that was what the story from book one was working towards and now the fact that he was beaten feels almost insignificant.
