As the final book of the series, this book certainly delivered on a grand finale. However, it did feel overly long and tedious to read through.
Laia - I enjoyed her chapters in the first two books, but she developed into a character who just doesn’t listen. Time and time again, her allies warn her, or even the Soul Catcher/Elias gave her a plan to stick to, and she deviates from it!
Helene - since when did she become such close friends with Laia? Granted, there is a bit of a time skip between the third and fourth books, but after spending the previous three books chasing and vowing to kill Laia, it’s hard to accept that they’re suddenly friends. (Also, it’s a little awkward to fall in love with the man who tortured her…)
The Soul Catcher - his chapters were good but primarily focused on “conceal (more like squash), don’t feel”.
Now Keris - her single chapter was so out of place and brought little to the story. However, it was tragic that her last peaceful moment was when she was a child.
