I absolutely LOVE this series, but honestly, I'm a little bit disappointed by this final installment.
There is a lot of worldbuilding, character, and lore development in this final book, and... it's too much for the final book in a series.
I loved the introduction of a true enemies-to-lovers plot line between two of our characters ~ it was sticky and sweet like honey *nudge nudge*. The banter was phenomenal. However, this plot line happened separately from the main plot.
This book starts out as an incredibly slow burn, but obviously, that's because it's building up to a completely epic finale, right? Right?! Please tell me I'm right...
But alas, I was wrong. The ending feels rushed (almost as if it was hastily put together to meet a deadline), and the final battle is anticlimactic. Some plot resolutions felt too convenient, and it was all over before it had the chance to begin. Minor plot lines are left unresolved (like a love triangle situation that felt unfair, ultimately).
Romeria (FMC) lost some of her spark in this book. I found Zander (MMC) irritating, but thankfully, they both played a smaller role in this book. However, the overall character wrap-up felt incomplete: many beloved characters received an unsatisfactory ending.
I've learned that there might be a spin-off, and I'd love for that to happen; I feel like it could bring some more fleshed-out resolutions and insight into some of the other characters without being revolved around Zander and Romeria's main story.
I know this review sounds critical, but it's still a VERY GOOD story. I love the world that K.A. Tucker has created. I think I had just hoped for a much bigger impact and satisfying ending because I adored this series so much. Unfortunately, it all feels a little bit incomplete, stunting the emotional impact.

One final note: Elizabeth Klett does an absolutely fantastic job as the narrator and I thoroughly enjoyed these books via audio.
