A review by kstep1805
Forest of Ruin by Kelley Armstrong

3.0

This book was everything I've come to expect from Kelley Armstrong for the first three quarters of the book. The tension between Moria and Gavril, the sweet sensitive power of Ashyn, the building mystery. And then we had this climatic scene that isn't the end and the rest of the book felt forced and cobbled together.

The story arc clearly is over and Armstrong takes a risk with the ending that I think would have been more satisfying if she had taken it all the way. Instead there is still an openness there that is a risk in itself. I think it all would have worked better had the climatic scene been the end instead of the actual end. But it's easy to criticize and overall this did a fine job of concluding the series.
