A fitting conclusion to a great series. All the major loose ends are tied up, but just enough hints at new intrigue set the stage for Miss Violet and the Great War, which launches a related story with the next generation of characters.
The will-they-won't-they relationships finally get some time to blossom (although they still move frustratingly slow). There is a little too much dramatic professions of friendship and love between various characters for my taste, but I suppose that is what happens when you draw from the unbridled emotions of the Romantic era.
Miss Knight and Lord Black climbed their way up as my favorite characters in this installment with a couple of shining moments. The villain is my favorite of the series and I love how she sees herself as a Lady Macbeth to the world.

Eterna Files is a series that adds some Victorian paranormal fantasy to an international spy thriller with splashes of mystery and romance. In the first book, the American Eterna Commission and their British counterparts, the Omega team, find that their search for immortality leads instead to the discovery of an evil society using corrupted research to spread violence and chaos across the two countries. In the second book, Eterna and Omega reluctantly learn to work together to fight against this international organization of evil. Now in the third book, the two teams must combine all their strength to defeat the Master's Society once and for all. The story picks up with the two teams aboard a ship, heading from England back to New York. Once they arrive, they immediately have their hands full trying to dismantle the schemes of a mysterious Lady Celeste who seems to be corrupting Edison's new electrical grid, as well as the country's railroad system, with dark magic. Following the trail of corrupted magic ultimately leads our protagonists to the nation's capital, where they must stop the Society's influence before it can take over America at the highest levels of power.
