The last book of 12, I was expecting a big showdown. I found what actually happened a little unsatisfying at parts, however it was an ending no body was expecting and is an open minded way of ending a series. It leaves us with hope and some joy, where as if he were to kill the enemy and have that destiny then it would be very distressing.
The events in the book sparked so many emotions. When I started the series I never though of what would happen would happen. It all was steady and separate adventures up to hunters of the dusk, from there there were different tasks but more or less the same goal. I have mixed feelings on this and it brings back a lot of emotions during sons of destiny. This in my opinion makes the ending even better!
The end was probably my favourite part and I think the end is amazing not only to the book but the series!!!!!!

DON'T READ THIS BOOK! The ending makes it all pointless. Basically an "It was all a dream." ending Make up your own ending instead.

What a book. What a series. I can’t believe I have reached the end. I devoured all 12 of these books. Cirque Du Freak is one of the most entertaining series I have ever read.
On Sons of Destiny itself, I really really enjoyed this book, but I’m so conflicted on how I like the ending. I’m conflicted, but I also am satisfied???? While I think it’s a great twist,I also wonder what would’ve happened if Darren had two options to pick from: stay a vampire or go back and change his younger human self’s future. All the twists, especially the fact Mr. Tiny is Darren & Steve’s father????? Like WHAT????? All the twists were insane! Especially the fact Mr. Tiny is Darren & Steve’s father????? Like WHAT?????
Overall, I think this is a bittersweet satisfying ending. There is heartache, but also happiness. You can see how ok Darren is about his option. He was able to give himself a second chance at life.
Lastly, all I can say is I loved this series and my time reading it. I can’t recommend it enough.

Honestly felt a bit like a not needed book that ruins some of the "lessons" learned in earlier books.
Ja så har jag tillslut läst klart serien jag påbörjade i mina tonår. Jag önskar verkligen att jag hade kunnat läst klart den då. Det är en tonårsserie, så twisterna påverkar mig inte värst. Jag tyckte ändå att serien slutade bra, det blev väldigt meta.

Thank God that's over!
I seriously disliked this book series. It wasn't good. I originally bought all twelve books because, one it was an amazing deal, and two I had read most of the first one and it was brilliant. But the series was dragged out and pointless most of the time. I honestly felt like the author could have ended it when Darren became a Prince.
These books are so thin, and are normally all under 200 pages long, yet they take me so long to read because they just drain me of energy. There is nothing interesting about it. The story line is boring, Darren dying is boring, Darren becoming a Little Person is boring, everything is boring. It was a huge effort to pick up the book and open it. I was reading a paragraph and that would keep me going for a few weeks. I just didn't see the point in the War of the Scars. It was pointless and a waste of time. When I first started this book, I thought Darren was going to become Lord Loss from the authors another book saga, The Demonata series and honestly that idea would have made this book one thousand times more interesting.
