It's over...

But at least it was a great ending to the trilogy!
Though not my favorite :/
I think it can be easily agreed on that the greatest part in this book was how they got past Anna staying pure despite Pharzuph. It completely took me by surprise! And that's saying a lot.
I didn't even think about marriage. I'm a little ashamed of myself but I'm just going to chalk it up to the fact I was too engrossed by the book to think ahead that far.

I actually really like Marek and wish that he played a bigger role in this book! I don't know what it was but it was probably the fact I knew immediately that he was an ally, despite Anna's lack of faith ha ironic.
Marna's ending was so heartbreaking! I thought that maybe since this Nephilim would be somewhat weaker-having one half human/Nephilim and one human parent-that she would be able to live through childbirth. At least she made it to Heaven though, because she definitely deserved it. Patti's death was extremely sad, but I think it was definitley needed because I felt like more main characters needed to be killed off, I know, I'm terrible, but it was a good choice since Patti's death hit home for everyone. I'm glad that by this point Ginger was redeemed, she may have been jaded and bitter in the beginning but you got to see her softer side which was great. Oh and lastly in this little spoiler section I don't know how I feel about Anna and Kaidan adopting from the orphanage where Kope and Z work.

The main reason I gave it 4 stars was because I thought the final stand-off/fight was a little weak based on everything that was built up to it. It just seemed a little haphazardly thrown together and the imagery was not there. The whole time I was hoping "please don't let this be a 'the heroine talks and now everybody sees the light and changes their ways' type of ending. Because that would've crushed the book for me. Luckily that wasn't really the case, but I still think it could've been better since this has been what the entire trilogy has been leading up to.

This one was definitely my favourite one of the trilogy. Kaidan is a true superhero and I can't imagine him being any more precious. The epilogue made me cry an ocean of tears, though.

2.25 I guess. This one wasn't really for me I suppose, I just didn't really like most of it but the ending was satisfying even if we expected it.

I really just did not like how most of this series hinges on the main characters "purity" or "virtue" I read all of the books and there was a lot of potential but in the end, it kinda all fell flat for me.

I just. Can't. Even. Terrible series with possibly the most disgusting ending of a trilogy. Ever.

The ending. The ending. I didn't think I could love Kaiden any more, but that epilogue killed me. I may have cried a little.

Fue muy denso y aburrido, pero se rescató mucho al final. Que adoré ♥

The other books were both 2.5 stars cuz while I hated teh plots and the characters annoyed me, I could give it some plus points for entertainment and there were moments I liked. This one, I HATED! It was just so annoying and if it wasn't the last book and I wasn't so close to finishing, I would never have finished this book!

I hated it! It was predictable as hell, annoying, I disagreed with so many things and everything went down WAY TOO EASILY! This whole book seemed like a cliche, way-too-cheesy movie to me! Trust me, I love me some cheese but this was just horrible. I just... UGH!

Can't even give it 1.5 stars, nope. Actually... 1.5 stars for that epilogue. Even I really liked it. -_-
