This contains spoilers without going into detail. It talks a little bit about how I feel about the climax but no particular events or characters are named.
I loved the story, the events, the character and relationship developments between everyone. Post climax I was crying off and on. But the climax itself is what I had an issue with.
This is where the “spoiler” begins.
The climax, I and the characters basically got what we wanted. There’s 2 parts, where it started and where it ended.
Where it started, I was hoping for something grand, and I got it in a way I didn’t expect and it leads to the second part. It mad me so angry in the best way possible.
However, the way the second part of the climax ended, while I found it funny and full of karma, I wanted more. I wanted something grand, I wanted that “big battle to the death” moment, and what I got was “the big battle to the death is going to happen and…..just kidding but you still get the outcome you wanted”. It felt a little too much like a “hand of god” moment where that HAD to have happened that perfectly to happen.
If I had gotten what I wanted out of the climax, 5 stars easy, but because the climax didn’t have that EPIC moment, I was left wanting a little bit. So again, 4.5 stars, if you haven’t read the first book, do it and then read this one.
