Spoilers etc-I almost feel bad for these authors. They have such a hard time finishing up these series. Cuz wtf was this?! I gave the last book a pass because I thought it was just money grabbing filler, but she did the same thing in this one. It’s a romantasy and the romance was the dullest thing I’ve read in a long time. And the fantasy was given more attention but there wasn’t enough plot to keep it interesting. Introducing all those very convenient new fae powers at the last minute to save the day…OK. Gwyn was a supremely annoying character. And Keira is all of a sudden deaf and blind. Definitely too busy to pay attention to Gwyn acting all shifty on multiple occasions. Riven loses his powers and is now just a depressed boring whipping post. Serra is also depressed and boring the whole book. Nik isn’t even in the story but he’s depressed and boring as well. And he was in that last battle for about two sentences before ruining everything and going back to his depression. We just had book three which was nothing but Keera dealing with her depression. I’m so sick of Brenna and she never even got screen time-you loved her, I promise we get it! It’s so repetitive. Also why did they keep fighting at night when they know that’s when the monsters are out?

Not the normal review but I finished this in a day because I could not put it down. Melissa Blair brings you into the book in way that I struggle to describe. I felt like I grew with Keera in a way. Her strength (and the strength of those beside her) was inspiring to say the least. Throughout this series, the depiction of her literal and figurative scars turning into something that showed her strength was incredible.

Overall,
I am sad to see this world go. This is the conclusion of Melissa Blair's Halfing Saga. It begins almost immediately after the events of book 3. All of the questions are answered and we get to see a mostly healed Keera grow in to a leader making decisions that effect many lives. The ending will leave you satisfied and I think that the choices made by the characters made a lot of since for each one of them.

I'm blown away by everything that happened and all the growth every character had. I cried, laughed, felt so many emotions. This story was beautiful and handled things such nuanced ways.
Knowing this is by an indigenous author you feel every once of that weight in this series. The hope, struggles, passion, and never ending spirit to survive.
Absolutely beautiful and one I'll reread in the future.
