What can I even say… I read through this series like a mad man drunk on vodka. I loved every part with all my soul, becoming one of my favourite fantasy series of all time.

Badass Rowan in this book was all my heart could ever desire and Evander being cool, supportive, sexy husband was everything. They both brought out the very best in each other, Evander not becoming a  monster like his father and Rowan gaining the patience needed to rule without stripping her of her personality and character. They owned each other as equals, loved together and in the end didn’t have a possessive relationship with tends to be a downfall in other books.

The war itself was very well writing and paced, being realistic and strategic. The fighting scenes were also very well done, the writing in general was beautiful, it flowed nicely and naturally with a lack of awkwardness.

The ending made me so so happy and it was a truely great way to finish off, closing loose ends, but with a sense of ability to continue.

An amazing finish to an amazing series I’m sad to be over, for the time being.
