what an ending...
there were so many things I enjoyed about this series because I went in having read the sequels. it was fun to know things and watch how they came to fruition—though I still found myself surprised and shocked plenty of times! In the end, while Sorcha's ending kinda felt like a copout, the actual ending and epilogue were pretty satisfying (and adorable!). I'm actually looking forward to reading Heirs of Chicagoland now knowing all that the first series entails. It'll be interesting to take in the new characters and Elisa's perspective on becoming a novitiate, dating you know who, etc. against the background of her parents' story.
overall, I really did find this to be so much fun! sure, there were a lot of convoluted plot lines and bureaucracy for days, but in the end, the characters (all of them, side characters especially) were engaging and created such a great found family vibe, the breadth of the world-building was impressive, and the depths of emotion that this series wrung out of me... it was all worth it. I would absolutely recommend to those interested in paranormal fantasy and paranormal romance.
