Für mich war die Sache leider in dem Moment gegessen, als Richelle mit "Wiedergeburt" um die Ecke kam. Ich mein... bitte. Nicht schon wieder :( Das macht die ganze Story viel größer, als sie in einem Buch sein kann. Ernsthaft. Das Leid und der Schmerz - das geht nicht einfach so weg. Selbst Seth Mortensen, alias Kyriakos, alias who the fuck auch immer braucht mehr als 40 Seiten, um sich davon zu erholen. Ihr hattet die ganze Buchreihe, Kinder. Wirklich.
Das Ende war dann auch dementsprechend happily ever after. Alle sind glücklich, es wird geheiratet, keiner ist gestorben (jedenfalls weiß man es von keinem offiziell) und alle kriegen Kinder. Blah. Mäh. Meh.
Das einzige, was einen ein bisschen zu Tränen rührt, war der Abschied von Carter. Sein Geständnis, nur in Seattle gewesen zu sein, um über Georgina/Letha/Thetis zu wachen, war einfach atemberaubend schön und man wünscht sich sofort, diesen Engel - der immer aussieht wie ein Straßenköter und sich in himmlisches Schweigen hült - in den Arm zu nehmen. 6 Bücher lang hat er seine Beweggründe fantastisch geheim gehalten. Für mich - nach Seth Mortensens Ausschluss vom Wettbewerb [Disqualifikation wegen Wiedergeburt] - der beste Charakter der Buchreihe, dicht gefolgt von Hugh, Peter und Konsorten [ROMAN U WILL BE REMEMBERD!!!].
Zum Schluss habe ich meine einstige Lieblingsreihe kaum noch wieder erkannt. Der Sukkubus geht flöten - man wünscht es Georgina ja, aber... wo ist ihr Witz geblieben? - und alles reitet dem Sonnengang entgegen. Leider hab ich mir am Ende fast die guten, alten, schwierigen Zeiten zurück gewünscht, in denen Seth noch der heiße, schüchterne Autor im kleinen Buchladenkaffee und Georgina der heiße, undercover Sukkubus der Buchhandlung war....

4.5 stars
Okay, that's the way to end a series! The last book ended on a bit of a cliff, so I was eager to jump in and I'm glad I did. The last 25% was gripping and I really couldn't stop (thankfully I didn't have to).
If you've read my other reviews of this series, you may recall that Georgina frustrates me. She is not my most favorite heroine. She just is frustrating in that she knows so little about her world and she makes very immature decisions -- in both cases, especially because of her age. And Seth -- I liked him and then he made some really bad decisions (repeatedly) and I liked him less. So yeah - not my favorite hero either. And that's why this is a 4.5 vs 5 star read. I wasn't as invested in the main characters and eagerly hoping for their HEA.
That said, I also didn't want them to not get their HEA. And I was so curious about Gerogina's contract situation. I have to admit, I was impressed with Richelle Mead when pieces started coming together - we've been getting hints and tidbits all along and I didn't realize it. It was really neat to see it all come together. And when things started moving it was like a sprint to the finish line - in a good way. Just lots of layers unfolded in really neat ways.
Also, I really enjoyed so many of the secondary characters and was glad to see more of them in this book. Particularly Seth's family. But also Roman (who really grew on me over the course of the series). And the vampires. And Carter. LOL! I feel like I can't say much more without spoiling things. But I like a lot of the secondary characters and wouldn't mind a spin off series.
The narration was a great point for this series. Elisabeth Rodgers delivers a really solid performance for all the characters, adding personality and making this a fun quick read for me!

Being that this is the final in the series, everything up to this point is exposed right here. All the obstacles and Hellish attacks Georgina has suffered through in the past several books will make sense here and now. Mead gives us a mighty twist *gasp* to bring us to this point. The wounds she has opened will lay exposed and raw, but will heal.
Heaven’s goals will be revealed. You will smile. Hell will act like Hell, BUT many under Hell’s dominion will surprise you. Your faith in everything good and pure will be restored. It will make your heart smile.
"Love and Life...they're wonderful, but they're hard."
Vague much? Yep. After experiencing the full force of this series, I crown it a MUST READ series. It doesn’t disappoint. Richelle Mead is a master world-weaver and character builder.
Georgina Kincaid has made me a believer in fated-true love.

an entertaining read, wrapped up the series nicely, a bit predictable but who cares!!
I have no words for how happy the ending of this book makes me! It ended exactly the way I wanted it to, I'm so happy! This is definitely a series I will be re reading!
I guess weak series finales are Richelle Mead's specialties. If you've paid any attention at all during this series, there will be nothing in this book that wasn't 100% predictable. It was very sappy and whiny and irritating and contained no surprises at all. Maybe like she's done with Vampire Academy, she'll spin off and give Carter his own series. That might redeem her. This book was weak.
I was unsure of what to expect from this book, if I'm honest. I didn't particularly like Succubus Shadows, for some reason the Georgina spunk was missing. This one, though, was defintitely up to parr with what I'm accustomed to from Mrs Mead!
I have been a Seth-Shipper right from the start. I won't say that I didn't smell the lute from a mile away, because ... let's be honest, how else should Seth have known about Letha? But I'm still glad it worked out exactly like it did.
It was definitely confusing enough, and I can't say that I would have figured it out. It was logical, but the explanation was maybe a little bit rash. But Roman has been around a couple of centuries, so some wit is to be expected I guess. Oh Roman ... that's all I'm going to say for now.
I think it's hard for a "mere mortal" to really unterstand what Georgina went through. Sleeping around doesn't exactly seem like such a hard fate, but never really being able to love just for love and not for pleasure ... well, humans weren't designed for that. Not even humans-turned-immortal.
Be that as it may, though, I think the last bit was probably the most surprising. I always wondered what Carter was actually there for, except for the occasional nudge in the right direction. Huh, now we know I guess. Jerome's non-loyalty was to be expected but I still found it heartbreaking somehow.
My thoughts are all over the place ... sorry for that.

Hemos llegado al final de esta serie de libros y tengo que decir que fue una serie extraña. Para estar conformada por 6 libros se sintieron como historias cortas que juntaron para crear 6 libros. Por momentos la historia continuaba de un libro a otro, pero de vez en cuando daba la sensación de no tener continuidad.
Desde que comencé la lectura me pareció que era ligera, sencilla y no precisamente brillante pero pasable. Logró su cometido de entretenerme y también me dejó triste cuando acabó. Me pareció que en varios puntos de esta serie la autora divagó un poco en temas bastante nulos y los más importante los dejos cortos Definitivamente me faltó un capítulo más en el último libro.
Como todo final de serie me dejó un poco triste pero tuvo un final satisfactorio y un plot twist que por lo menos yo no me veía venir
Me hubiese gustado que la autora cerrara mejor la historias de los personajes secundarios de la serie, porque quedaron en el olvido nombrado en 2 o 3 lineas.
Conclusiones finales, fue una serie entretenida para llenar tiempo y limpiar el paladar de series más complicadas y emocionales. Aunque no fue una obra maestra literaria.
Hasta la próxima [a:Richelle Mead|137902|Richelle Mead|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/authors/1270374609p2/137902.jpg]
