All Good Things by Emma Newman
4.0
I was so happy to get my hands on an ARC of All Good Things! I'm a big fan of this series, I've been avidly following Cathy's journey through the first four books and I was excited to see how the story would conclude.
Cathy has been on a massive journey. From the scared young woman in the first book to the Duchess of Londinium trying to effect social change, she has now grown into a true leader, Princess Leia rebel style.
For the first few books, Cathy was mainly ineffective, complaining but not actually doing anything. In the last two books she has made grown in confidence, started caring about other people, and made some real changes, but what she does here is just brilliant. I love the way this book ended.
The side stories were neatly wrapped up too. Though I do feel like there was a lot of wrapping up in this book, and at times a lot of the stories felt rushed. Will and the Fae princess, for example, seemed to be a bit crammed in.
I'm not happy about what happened with Lucy.She has been such a strong character through the series and very supportive of Cathy, and I don't like the way she was treated at the end. Lucy's concerns were dismissed, her worries ignored, and then she was ditched because she didn't fall in line. I feel like she deserved more respect than this.
Max and the gargoyle have been my favourite characters by far. I'd love to see some more of them, I feel like Cathy's story might be done but those two have a lot of work to do now.
This has been one of my favourite series and I'm sad to see it end, but I'm also excited to see what Emma Newman does next.
I received a free copy from the publisher in return for an honest review.
