I think my beef with this series is I didn't realize it was YA when I started. Too much making out, not nearly enough naked Reyn, etc...

I absolutely loved the Sweep and Balefire series by Cate. If I recall correctly I thoroughly enjoyed the first two of this trilogy. But this last installment was nothing but disappointment. The book mainly consists on flash backs and back stories from all of the main characters with a little action, mild action, thrown in between. Frankly, I was bored and disappointed. I guessed who the diabolical "master" was around page 200.
Here I was hoping for an awesome conclusion. The perfect ending. *Sigh*wished too much.
I saw someone compare the ending to being better than the Hunger Game Series. LYING. This ending has nothing on the end of MockingJay.
Oh well, Cate is still one of my favorite authors of all time. I'm guessing this was her one time fail. All authors have them.

Review TBA: No real plot and Reyn had so much potential that was missed out on. Also, lots of unresolved questions but it was a solid series and had a cute ending that saved it.

Excellent ending to an excellent trilogy. That's all I'm saying, lest there be spoilers. SORRY.

Pas na 150 bladzijden had ik door dat dit het laatste boek was uit de 'onsterfelijke liefde' serie. Wat dus een trilogie blijk te zijn. Dit vind ik zeer jammer. Het verhaal had zoveel meer potentieel. Het hele verhaal speelt zich af in River's Edge en in het dorpje ernaast. Het boek begint zeer traag met veel te veel monologen. (Of hoe je dat ook heet wanneer de hoofdpersonage tegen zichzelf praat en dus tegen de lezer.) Ik stoorde mij ook ferm aan het feit dat Nastasya na honderden jaren en maanden in River's Edge nog steeds even dom is. Je zou denken wijsheid komt met de jaren, wel niet bij Nastasya. Ze is ook zo'n personage die ik vanaf het eerste boek niet begreep maar hoopte dat ze zou veranderen, evolueren... Jammer genoeg was dit niet het geval. Vandaar ook mijn 3 sterren. Alleen op het einde en dan bedoel ik de laatste 3 hoofdstukken gebeurt er iets groots. Ik ben wel tevreden over het einde van het verhaal. Een soort flashforward naar later: hoe ze samen met Reyn is en blijft! (yes!). Het verhaal eindigt in een open einde dus ik hoop dat de schrijfster misschien ooit een vervolg zal schrijven...

Some disjointed thoughts about this book:
-I really love Nastasya. She is hilarious and doesn't take herself too seriously. Her struggle to be a better person and her character development are the best things about this series, but some of what was going on with her in this book felt like a step back and was drawn out.
-Nastasya's relationship with Reyn is underdeveloped. I'm also not a Reyn fan. This is completely subjective, and I'm sure it played a huge part in making all the scenes with him not so enjoyable for me.
-Some new characters were introduced. I liked them. They were a good addition and helped create some conflict and change things up. Natasya calling Ottavio Ott amused me to no end.
-I've always found Innocencio interesting and wanted to know more about him. I would've liked to see more of his friendship with Nastasya and get his side of the story. I am happy with the bits we got from Nastasya's memories, but I feel like we never got the full picture.
-The pacing was horrible, but I really liked the plot. The conclusion though rushed was satisfying.

Loved loved loved this whole series, but I really felt like the ending was a little rushed! Still one of my all time favorite series, just because the characters were so witty and likable! Definitely recommend this series!
