4.0

This was an emotional roller coaster from beginning to end; to some extent, I had expected that. But I could not have predicted the number of times I would want to slam my head into a brick wall because people just refused to communicate.
It was honestly frustrating just how much of the plot is based on a lack of communication or just making decisions for Bree, and then there are massive fallouts due to people not being able to sit down and talk to her like she is a competent person.

Spoiler

I had to put this down initially just because of how frustrated I was with the fact that we were introducing a Miscommunication Plotline with Sel and Bree, like we didn't have enough going on in their relationship. Here let's add one more thing to the pile. To make it worse, this plot point could have been resolved with a google search at any point. But also, we had no less than three other times we could have resolved the "Miscommunication" before it was finally taken care of in the last 15% of the book, and we nearly didn't deal with it. I was so close to throwing my phone across the room.

This book has some of the most heart-racing action scenes I've ever read; I was literally on the edge of my seat with my heart pounding.
It also had some exciting twists that I did not expect, especially the one that ties into the book's title.

The real question is, is this the end of the series? It sure doesn't feel like it. Deonn was out here teasing us with romances until the end. But we get a fan fiction-level cliffhanger and no word on whether or not we are getting more.

-1 star for Cliff Hangers and Miscommunication Tropes.
