Aunque al principio tenía miedo de leer este libro por reseñas negativas que había leído la verdad es que no puedo estar más feliz de no haberme dejado llevar por ellas y leerlo.
Creo que este si es realmente el final perfecto para esta historia y me ha parecido precioso. Es un libro muy diferente a los anteriores por que es simplemente su vida después de todo lo que han tenido que sufrir y por supuesto en ella no todo es perfecto, habrá momentos muy duros que tendrán que superar juntos. Es precisamente eso lo que más me ha gustado no son los mismos personajes que al principio por que después de todo lo que han pasado han cambiado y es en este tercer libro donde realmente se conocen y conviven. Ha sido una historia con la que he disfrutado pero también he sufrido, me he emocionado ... sin ninguna duda Tatiana y Alexander han dejado una huella que siempre va a estar ahí.

For most of this book I wanted Alexander go eat some dirt and shut up. He was a complete asshat almost the whole damn time and when Tatiana finally grew backbone I really wished she kicked him in the comrades. Anthony was blessing in this book and the epilogue was wonderful.

My goodness this series has put through me happiness, crying like a true fangirl, and "almost" heart attacks. This would've have gotten 5 stars but, somethings in the book made me rage. If you have read this book you'll understand where I coming from.

This book took me forever to finish. The only reason I finished it was because I was determined to finish all the books on my currently reading shelf by the end of 2017. This book RUINED Alexander for me. Yes, life is messy, but absolutely no excuse for cheating on your wife and hitting her. He somehow figures out a way to make everything her fault. It’s disgusting. I’m wildly disappointed, Alexander was one of my favorite male characters, and now he is one of my least.

Perfect, heart pounding, heartbreaking perfection.
I thought The Bronze Horseman had everything? THIS book has EVERYTHING. I was a mess-- laughing, crying, unsuccessfully attempting to control heart palpitations. The Summer Garden is the most satisfying conclusion to anything ever.

This was slightly less awesome for me than the first two. The first 60% was unbelievable and EXACTLY what I wanted. Alexander has to heal after he gets back from a truly gruesome ten years at war and Tatiana is there to help him. It was sweet and perfect and also gritty and raw. I loved.
Once we get away from the war a while-- this book spans right up until the new millennium-- there is the business of being married. The part I loved about this book, nearly 60% of it, centers on Tatiana and Alexander's marriage. After Anthony gets older there is quite a lot to do with the children. While the events that unfold in the last quarter of the book were very interesting, I felt that it lost the essential thread-- mainly the relationship between Tatiana and Alexander. The last action is intense and heart-pounding, but the resolution after that left me confused.
The last pages came full circle and gave a lovely farewell to Tatia and Shura, but Simons probably could have cut the Coda without an issue.
I also desperately wanted a spin-off story for Anthony and his own great love-- (I won't say who it is in order not to spoiler) what a story that would be!

I just couldn't with this book. It drags. I loved the first book, and enjoyed the second....but, ugh. I managed 5 pages a reading session, which says a lot.
Ended up skimming and reading a plot summary. Paulina should have finished after the 2nd book - and in my mind, that is where it will end.

A great ending for the series! This book felt a lot different than the previous two, but I still enjoyed it with only a couple of exceptions. The main thing that kept me from giving it 5 stars is the whole flashback plot with Saika. It felt unnecessary and just filler since it really did not tie-in well with the rest of the book. The other thing that aggravated me was .
