Restless Stars
by Susanne Valenti, Caroline Peckham
“Death couldn’t have me now or ever, because I belonged to her. I would lay in no grave until our life was well-worn and her smile had brightened thousands of glorious days. We were meant to rise with tomorrow’s sun, and I would see that dawn in with my love by my side come what fucking may.”
Listen, I absolutely adore this series and standby that it is still a worthwhile investment but this final book was underwhelming and incredibly frustrating. As someone who has been captivated by these characters for so long, and patiently waited and stood by the delays because I don't believe in rushing authors to end a series, I wanted a worthy ending for these characters I grew to love. I think the ending they got was worthy but the end process to get there was not. There was entirely too much filler and plot lines that did nothing to advance the major plot line, characters seemed out of sorts or not in character in their actions, plot mysteries that were incredibly obvious (cough cough stone circle cough cough), plot points that were part of the entire series dropped completely (prophecies anyone?...I spent entirely too much time analyzing those for them to never be mentioned in the final book), new villains or information dumping that was resolved quickly/didn't seem to be necessary and finally jokes, that used to have me in tears laughing so hard, were reused and fell flat.
I really hate that I didn't love this final book but I have to be honest. I still adore this series as a whole and would absolutely recommend it for anyone looking for a light dark fantasy series that includes: over the top alpha males and females, bully romance, enemies to lovers, magic, and hilarious character relationships and moments.
“We had been two lost girls adrift in the mortal realm, but here, in this wilderness of magic and endless love, we had found ourselves at home.”
