A nice conclusion to the series. 

Although, it definitely dragged on in some parts and the ending felt rather rushed. I also couldn't help but favor certain characters over others.

This book was amazing. I read the first 2 and loved them and this one was just as good. I really liked how it ended, it ended the series very well. I could not put this book down from start to finish and I loved it so much :)

I’m writing this review with tears streaming down my face. This series got better and better as it went on. The ending was satisfying in many different ways, and Lia is one of my Top 3 favorite literary heroines.

2.0

While there were some moments that were genuinely touching and passages that were well-written, this conclusion to the Remnant Chronicles trilogy was fairly disappointing overall. The love triangle became so overdone that, in the end, I didn't want Lia to end up with either of the men.
