*Beware! Spoilers from the first 8 installments… but that’s to be expected, right?*

Finally possessing a sentient form, the book wastes no time in wreaking havoc on Dublin and its remaining inhabitants. How to possibly destroy the book without also destroying Mac in the process is something no one knows how to do, but stopping the book before it gains, even more, power is crucial to saving the last of the human race. The black holes that were left behind by the Hoar Frost King continue to hover mere feet above the Earth and until the Song of Making is discovered, there may soon not be an Earth to save. Time is quickly running out.

I’m not going to go into plot details because if you love the series, you’re going to read it anyways, but I will say this: There’s a lot riding on a final installment, especially for such a well-loved series that has gone on for as long as it has. There are an immense amount of loose-ends to tie up, deciding how to wrap up the stories of beloved characters (whether they get their happily ever after or not), and trying to find an ending that isn’t predictable but that doesn’t also come out of left field. Series endings have a low probability of impressing me which makes me truly wonder why I embark on as many series as I do. While there were still some questions that went unanswered (not enough to make me grumpy) and a few plot lines that were wrapped up a bit too neatly (nothing’s perfect though), I was overall impressed with how entertaining this final installment was. Have I changed my mind that all installments after [b:Shadowfever|7304203|Shadowfever (Fever, #5)|Karen Marie Moning|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1439940228s/7304203.jpg|6967072] were necessary? Nope, but they still gave me more time in a fantasy world that I will always love.

It’s been done once before so I won’t say it isn’t possible. There were a few extra pieces of the puzzle that could most definitely go on to form a new book (books?), but I was happy with the ending in [b:Shadowfever|7304203|Shadowfever (Fever, #5)|Karen Marie Moning|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1439940228s/7304203.jpg|6967072] and I’m shockingly happy with the ending in [b:Feversong|12446825|Feversong (Fever, #9)|Karen Marie Moning|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1458832646s/12446825.jpg|17429860]
Spoilerexcept OMG WHAT IS THIS WET SHIT FALLING FROM MY EYEBALLS.
so let’s not push our luck, k Moning?

I hope she creates a new wonderfully magical world for me to fall in love and obsess over soon.
