After seeing how much better book 2 was than book 1, I had high hopes for ending the series with more improvement. But honestly it was just kind of meh.

The 180 that Apollo takes from being a handsome, albeit kind of boring prince to being
an obsessive murderer
will give you whiplash. Jacks is not as involved in the book as I would like, especially since it is multi-POV. I do like seeing Evangeline grapple with her lost memory and try to come to terms with separating the truth from what she is told

So many plot holes are left open. Like what happened with Castor and all the murder? Why didn’t LaLa find her true love if that was what had made her a fate to begin with? Why was Aurora such a goddamn obnoxious character?

Overall, I’m glad I finished the series, I love the world that was built throughout it, and I just have to accept that maybe Stephanie Garber isn’t for me.
