When I read an entire series it's so hard to write a review. When I love and author, writing the review is even harder.
The truth is I love this book and I love this series. Elizabeth has a way of writing a book that will pull you into the world so deeply that if you never set foot in any of the places she writes about you will feel like you were there. This book was amazing from start to finish. She weaved a tale so intricate that I felt like when this story ended I lost a couple of best friends.
Ava has become my favorite female heroine because she overcame so much and she shined in this book and her strength was encouraging. Malachi was amazing he was the perfect Alpha male and showed how much he loved and cared for his reshon in this book.
This book answered all of my questions it didn't leave me wondering. The action and romance in this book was so amazing that I wasn't able to put this book down from the moment I picked it up. This was the perfect ending to a great series and I can't wait to pick up whatever she puts out next because in the end I know that it will be great.

Liked this way better than book 2. I thought this was to be the conclusion of the series, but it appears not.
This is an odd series. The first book was swooningly good. The second was not bad, although there was that far-too-long awkward bit where everybody is in Oslo and they just don't connect for a while. However, until I read this third one, I didn't understand the second one was supposed to cover an entire years worth of time.. Or close to it. It reads more like a couple of months.
That's because there is a depth missing in books two and three. A lot of characters, a lot of places, travel, battles, politics, actions, and yet more world building...but not much depth. I feel as though we skimmed the surface and rushed through.
As for this book, I am particularly disappointed in the whole show down when the Irinas finally take their place in the Library (the political power center) after 250 years. It was quite quick. A lot of build up, two fabulous moments, and then, the book abandons them to move on to the next plot item. The whole show down when the Grigori's secret is revealed in the Library was similar. Lots of build up and then, ok, done, over. So quickly you're not sure if it happened.
There were also some long bits where Malachi was basically a doormat living for his love and nothing else. When another character referred to them being equal partners I sniggered, at that point there was no equality, just a love sick guy following after his girl with zero life of his own.
Everyone, including the Angels and Irin who haven't had a woman's company for 100s of years, are so thrilled and happy to see this couple in love and PDAing all over the place, including loud, prolonged sex in group houses shared with single people. That struck me as odd. Even as a romance reader, I find infatuated couples annoying in real life. The idea of living cheek by jowl with them, um, no way. Other people's love, just like other people's babies, is only lovely in moderation :-).
Lastly, for all that this book kept zipping from action to action, the one place that got far too much attention was the dream world and angelic visions. That part was often repetitive, and it didn't seem like anything the heroine learned from her visions or dreams ended up making much of a difference to anyone. So, what was the purpose?
So, ok I wasn't thrilled. That said, it wasn't bad. But maybe only a B in the scale of things.
