This review and more can be found at The Book Bratz!
Well, this is it. Katy and Daemon's story has come to and end. I am not sure how I feel about that though. I just stared at my book for a few minutes with my "What do I do with my life now?" look.
This review is hard to write because I don't want to spoil anything (I seem to have a habit of that though) So I am going to make a few comments and end it.
I am not sure what I expect of Opposition. But I am more then happy with everything that happened and how it turned out.
I love the duo point of view, maybe just because I like Daemon's wise ass comments, but I like it.
Opposition was an emotional roller coaster, my feels haven't been hit that hard in a while.
Katy and Daemon scenes .... Whoa. Daemon's mind it just .... I think we all know what I am talking about.
Tons of action, it kept me on the edge of my seat and wanting so much more....
So much betrayal. So many unlikely allies.
The epilogue was perfect, I was laughing and crying at the same time.
A very awesome conclusion for a very awesome book series!
I also want to bring up the cover for a minute, I saw that a lot of people dislike this cover. I agree and disagree this cover goes with Beginnings (Books 1 and 2) and Consequences (Books 3 & 4) so I like how they match. But I see the point, on how the cover doesn't match the rest of the individual books. But either way as long as Pepe Thoth is on the cover I am going to be very happy.
RATING: ★★★★★

I cannot believe that this series that I have come to love so much, is over.
I loved this book a lot and so much stuff happened in this book.
I didn't see Katy's moms death coming, and hurt like hell.
I just love this book and it is now one of my favourite series of all time now.
I am going to miss being in this world, but that is what re reading is for, right?

4,5/5
La saga se finit en beauté avec ce tome pleins de rebondissements et évidemment avec pleins de réponses, cependant j’ai été un peu déçue de la raison qui a poussé le personnage à faire tout ça, c’est un peu trop facile et évidant à mon goût. (Je ne peux pas dire son nom sans spoiler du coup je pense que ceux qui ont lu la saga comprendront de quel « méchant » je parle).
Malgré ma petite déception sur ça j’ai adoré ce tome, et puis Katy a vraiment évolué du tome 1 au tome 5, je la trouve beaucoup plus déterminée et sure d’elle. Daemon toujours fidèle à lui-même bien sûr, son arrogance et toujours présente mais il essaie de faire des efforts pour la mettre de côté pour s’allier à certaines personnes qu’il ne considérait pas comme ses alliés à la base.
La fin est très belle je trouve et très adorable aussi. Ça ramène un peu de douceur étant donné que depuis le tome 4 l’atmosphère était plus sombre et plus pesante.
Cette saga a été une belle découverte, ainsi que l’autrice et je pense me plonger dans ses autres sagas.

I cannot believe this is over. While I am so glad this series ended the way it did, I am sad to be ending my relationship with these characters. I am so in love with them. This series is hands down one of my all time favorites. I was so completely lost in this world I chose to read this over much needed sleep. So I am writing this review after only two hours of sleep. Nothing could keep me away. I felt consumed.

***4.5***
I really enjoyed the series, and I think this finale tied a great bow on it.
I particularly enjoyed that we got to see Katy bust some faces. Because here's the thing - Blake (*spit* ... rest in pieces, asshat) told us, way back in book 2, that hybrids are stronger than the Luxen that created them, and that means Katy is pretty crazy strong (potentially).
But that really felt like a toss-off. Because we never saw her DO anything. Part of that is Daemon's overprotective nature, but seriously. You can't tell me that this strong, intelligent character (and seriously, kudos on that - it is great to see such a capable female hero) has super uber powers, and then never have her bust them out. But that's what happened. She was largely a bystander when they escaped Daedalus - she shot someone with a gun, very not-impressive. She was largely a bystander as they fled Vegas. This book had me worried, because
Thankfully, Katy did step into the fray here. Yes, she still was sidelined in some of the fighting, but she stepped in at a couple critical points, and that felt really gratifying to me.
My only criticism - that is why the half star was dropped - is because things got REALLY rushed in the last third of the book. We hammered through plot points at a breakneck pace, trying to wrap everything up. Don't get me wrong, the author DID wrap everything up, and she did a great job not leaving any dangling threads that hurt too much (except maybe Carissa... it was sad to see that character tossed off in such a horrible way, and then never find out what happened to her). But the pacing didn't leave enough room for me to really feel it. Finding out
There were also a couple things that didn't... I don't know, didn't sit right with me? Maybe baffled me a bit. But then she shook it right off, and then was back to being regular ol' Katy. I think the author was trying to go for an emotional beat here, but in the chaos of the last few pages... I just didn't register it. There wasn't room for it there, or time for it, or headspace for it. I was too stuck in "wtf is she doing? Is someone going to jump out and kill her?"
And yes, there are unanswered questions that are a little disappointing. I'm hoping that the author revisits this world to explore them with other characters. Because it is a great world, and I'd love to come back.

she was a bystander in the market when it was attacked. Yes, she helped a little, but where are the superpowers?? And then she was SUPER docile while being held by the Luxen. This after doing her best to rip the faces off Daedalus when they were holding her... and that was BEFORE she'd had their combat training!Thankfully, Katy did step into the fray here.

Katy's mom was dead shocked me, but then before I could roll into grieving about it... we were on to the next thing.There were also a couple things that didn't... I don't know, didn't sit right with me? Maybe baffled me a bit.
Spoiler
Katy's run up the mountain in the middle of the big battle ... I don't know why she did that. It seemed the impulse was just "I gotta get away from this" which I understand. She should totally be overwhelmed, that's fair.And yes, there are unanswered questions that are a little disappointing.
