You know you've read a good book when after you finish reading a book you say "wow". That's what I said to myself right when I closed this book. "WOW". Reading this series has been.....interesting. I ALMOST gave up on the series after finishing the second book because...well I really didn't like the second book because I thought that when Laurel chose David it would be for forever and that would be that. Tamani would live the rest of his life doing...whatever after getting his heart broken and Laurel would be oh so happy being with David in the human world. In the third book I find out that Tamani actually DIDN'T give up on Laurel and that revived my interest in the series again. So from the very beginning of this book there's so much ACTION and suspense that I felt like I was reading the END of the book, not the beginning! It was kinda weird, but I think it was appropriate since this IS the last book. I've got to admit I was so GLAD when Laurel finally and totally chose Tamani! I really didn't think that would happen! But it's really weird to find out who David ends up being with and who Chelsea......oh and the chose David made! Why would you ever choose to *mutters the spoiler under breath and struggles to stay silent* I hope I didn't put any spoilers in! All I can say is if you're asking yourself if you should read this book (after reading the other books of course) then just know that everything plays out, things are revealed, and that this book really is an appropriate ending to the series!

Paskutinė knygos dalis – oho kiek joje veiksmo, kaip viskas atrodo netikėta ir štai pabaiga. Patiko. Lengva serijos knygos pabaiga, tikrai viskas susidėliojo į vietas. Daug netikėtumų, kai kas gal kiek neįtikino, tačiau tai juk paaugliška knyga – tuo laiku viskas yra neįtikėtina. Rekomendacija visai serijai.

  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

This book was insane! It's my favourite of the whole series. The perfect last book and even though the end was kind of sad, I can totally understand Aprilynne. She wrote this series about David, not about the Faeries and that made it even more perfect. I read the whole series too fast, I don't want it to end.

I usually finish every book I start to review it properly. But this is the first book I realised I really did not care to ever find out how it ends. I have lost all interest in those characters, I have lost the interest for the storyline, the fairie realm, everything.
I'm a little bummed out that I'm DNF-ing this, but I was thinking that I would be literally wasting my time trying to finish all of this.

Is it fair for the book or the author? Not really, but I also spent my time reading all the three other books to this series and did not like them all that much, so I kind of couldn't care less.

This whole book series was truly amazing. I fell in love with all the characters and the beautifully written storyline will always stay with me.

I love the feeling of finality it leaves behind and am very glad this lovely series ended the way it did.
