I thought I was okay with the ending of book two but this final chapter of Tobias’ and Cecilia’s story is the perfect wrap up of the series. Cecilia’s character arc from beginning to end of the series is one of my favorites — a true coming of age story. The ways that Stewart honored Dom in this book were also some of the best parts of this book. Add in romance, spice, and some moments to put you on the edge of your seat and you have a winning book.

This book was not needed AT ALL. I get there were some unanswered questions after Exodus, but this book did not need to be this long. I had a lot of issues with it:

• Miscommunication: this was so frustrating and boring to read about. Cecelia and Tobias just kept going round in circles having the same argument over and over 😴
• Cecelia: she is still incredibly immature.
• Tobias: his personality literally changed just to make this “plot” work. I would have liked to see a story where he comes back to protect Cecelia against a threat and we get another enemies to lovers situation. His constant confessions got boring and just seemed so out of character.
• The plot: it was boring, unbelievable, incredibly cheesy…
• The spice was okay, but it should have been better considering the plot was lacking.
• Logic and timelines: I went back and tried to track Dom and Tobias’ ages and it kept varying as to whether he was 4 years older or “almost 6” years older. Also just the sheer premise of the Exodus company and the direction Tobias and Tyler take it by the end of the book was so ridiculous. Would never happen.

Didn’t mean to 💩 all over this book but I was so disappointed because I really enjoyed Exodus, especially Tobias and we didn’t get Tobias in this books.

You will sob. The ending of this trilogy, especially the last few chapters, is great. I couldn’t imagine a better way to end this story. Fuck, seriously, I am emotionally drained and forever traumatized from reading these books, but damn if it wasn’t a good fucking time—even with the tears and loss.
