Overall, I liked struggles, the characters, the found family trope, and the ending. But there was something off about this one for me. The pacing felt a little slow. I also didn't like the new development of Keera's powers. I felt like it instead of going through the struggle and strategizing the best solution, it was here are new powers to save the day! I'm glad Keera had the same feelings as me.  I wanted Riven to find himself without his powers and with the further trauma he experienced. I liked Gwen's and Gerarda's characters arcs and felt like they may have had the best ones. I also liked the final showdown with Damien and how those problems were resolved. I think if the pacing was better and if the character growth for both our FMC and MMC were better, I would have awarded it 5 stars.
