Not so much a review as a quick commentary. This final (from what I understand) book in the trilogy is the best of them and I enjoyed (and have re-read) the first two. I'm having a hard time putting into words why this series has stuck with me but it definitely has. The story arc is good but there is something about the writing that makes me think very hard about all the other YA books I've read and what the reader takes away from them, consciously or subconsciously. The ending? Yeah, I was soooo not expecting that but from book one I could tell that this wasn't going to be your usual "girl meets boy then meets another boy, love triangle ensues, girl gets super powers and kicks butt, off into the sunset they go" kind of of story. When it came down to Bryn and some hard choices being made, they were, and I have a lot of respect for an author who's willing to stay true to their characters and stick the landing on a finish that felt realistic.

Just re-read this series. Forgot how much I loved it and how much it made me cry. I still desperately hope Jennifer Lynn Barnes returns to this world one day. Its by far one of my favorites!
