I loved this series, but there are a few things that I didn't like about this book:

There are a lot of romances that felt forced

and, obviously, no one who had a romantic interest died in war

Gavriel death's felt unnecesary and I wanted to stop reading the book because of it... 

Otherwise, I never thought I would be so fond of the Thirteen and I cried when they sacrificed themselves (and therefore broke the curse).... "Live, Manon" </3

A great ending that could have been better if the Thirteen and Gavriel were still alive
