I read the first three books when i was 12-14 and they kinda changed my brain chemistry. Happy to revisit and now finally finish the series! I had a lot of fun reading/listening to these :-)

Overall i like the serie. It was fast-paced and everything in the book almost occured less than 10 days. Except twins, everyone was either personalities from mythology or history. Since i love both of the subjects i enjoyed the book.
(SPOILER)
The world building was not bad but i feel like it was not clear. Something else was constantly being adding up. Like the hierarchy was Next Gen, Elder, and Great Elder but later on he added other species, such as Archons or Ancients. And time travel definetly didn't help. I still got so many questions about it.
There was no romance in the book and most of the time it was straight to the action which i loved. Even without the romance characters had their development.
I didn't like that all the immortals switched to good side. It seemed basic for me. Dialogues were also worse than the other books of the serie. At the some point it repeated itself. I don't need to be reminded in every page that "the change" turns them more of a monster.
Protagonists are not so likeable in my opinion. I've loved Virgina Dare more even tho she didn't showed up so much i was able to connect with her more. Many characters were one dimensional and some major characters didn't even have a proper ending.
That being said i've loved how Scott wrapped up everything to beginning. Josh's ending was great.
The series had so much potential in my eyes but the seems like author tried to impress us so much he missed the plot at some point. But it is still a nice YA fantastic book that you can read. Obviously there were a lot of research for the book so kudos to him for that.

Weird ending. And, it seemed some characters kept showing up in two places at once. Overall, confusing.

Ce dernier tome est juste excellent, j’ai adoré du début à la fin et même s’il y a beaucoup de descriptions, elles étaient utiles et nécessaires à la compréhension de toute la saga.
En effet, on a dans ce tome toutes les réponses à nos questions qui ont pu apparaître du premier tome au cinquième tome et j’ai trouvé ça juste fascinant comment l’auteur a pu imaginer un univers aussi riche et complexe.
Sophie et Josh comprennent enfin qui ils sont, d’où ils viennent et quel est leur véritable rôle dans toute cette histoire.
Je ne m’attendais tellement pas à cette fin et aux révélations que j’ai eu tout au long de ce tome, je n’aurai jamais pu deviner tout ça.
Évidemment étant donné que c’est le dernier tome de la saga, j’ai eu un petit pincement au cœur de quitter les personnages auxquels je m’étais attachée mais j’ai adoré lire cette saga du début à la fin même si le quatrième tome était moins bien selon moi.
