See, this is why I love anti-heroes/villain MCs. The redemption is always worth it.
I wish that this series would have delved into the gods/goddesses more throughout so that the ending would have had a bit more context. I feel like it was just a random addition that the Young Elites stole power from the gods that was necessary in order to end the series. A bit more worldbuilding would have made it a little more impactful. But I definitely got emotional!
The last folktale... I can't.
Otherwise, a really great series. Really glad I picked this one up on a whim. Marie Lou is an excellent author, and I'm very excited to read the Legend series!
