This entire series has been a whirlpool of emotions for me, there have been many ups and many downs. I loved Rose, I was annoyed by Rose, I wanted to smack Rose, I wanted to hug Rose, I wanted to throttle Lissa, I realised that I definitely dislike Lissa, I fell for Dimitri, got hurt by Dimitri, I was stunned by the plot, I was hurt by the plot, and throughout everything, there is only one thing I am certain of - and that is; Adrian Ivashkov is the best bloody character in this entire series.
I actually really, really loved Spirit Bound and I had such hopes for the last book but there were a few things I wasn't happy with. While the main plot was brilliant, I felt that Adrian deserved more from Rose. He is so wonderful and way too good for her and after everything, I feel like the whole breaking his heart in that way was not okay.
I also thought that after EVERYTHING Rose and Dimitri went through, that there would be a little more relationship development? It felt super rushed, especially after all the hurt I felt in the previous book. I'm not entirely sure I even like Dimitri anymore and I think if we had a little more on their actual relationship, then that might have changed? I felt like the chapters on Lissa's trial were a little long, like I didn't need so information on that aspect of the book when we could have been rekindling feelings with Dimitri. I will say that I did not see that plot twist coming, like AT ALL, that was a brilliant twist to end off these characters stories.
I think my favorite part of this entire book was Joshua and his cave, he is absolutely adorable and I hosed myself!! I'm just saying, if I were Rose I would have totally taken him up on his offer, love out the rest of my days as some savage dhampir cave woman! ๐๐
Thank you for buddy reading this series with me bestie, @the_bookbasket ๐ค
