I am so disappointed in how this book ended. It was such a let down after everything the first three books built up to. Also, the characters who died at the end?! What was the reason??

I grew to hate Celine in this book “she’s my mother, she loves me! How dare Bastien make me close?” You’ve know her for 2 seconds and she abandoned you as a child! And you refuse to even listen to what the love of your life is trying to tell you about her?
