The weakest of the series by far. The plot is flimsy and Sylvia wanting to leave is trite.
For me it’s a sad way to end an otherwise lovely series.
That said, the rest of the series was fantastic and I am thankful for an ending that lied up loose ends even if it seemed to have been rushed.

I hate the trope of one of the lovers having to leave to protect the other. Sylvia continually tries to run away from the man she loves, her new found family, and her perfect job even after she acknowledges that running away won't really protect Gabe. I finished this out of spite and am disappointed in this series. I really wanted to love this series as someone who works in libraries, but Sylvia ruined this.

A quiet finish to a once-compelling series.
As the final installment in the series, I had hoped for a stronger conclusion, but this book didn’t quite deliver the same spark as the earlier ones. The first three books were far more engaging in terms of plot and character development, while this one felt noticeably flatter in comparison.
Though there were still glimpses of magic and mystery woven throughout, the story lacked the depth and momentum I’d expected. The characters, in particular, felt underdeveloped, and I didn’t connect with them as much as I’d hoped. In contrast, I found the Glass and Steele series more richly layered and immersive.
Overall, it was an okay read—enough to close the series, but not one that left a lasting impression. Recommended only if you’ve been following the series and want to see how it ends.
