This was amazing! 👏👏👏 Perfect finale! I teared up and even cried in some parts, but the pay off was so good. 🥹 The characters are so well-developed and their arcs 😙👌 Also percabeth scene were so adorable. 🥰 This is one of those series that I'll definitely re-read. But for now on to Heroes of Olympus!

Honestly, I wanted to love this more, but the best thing was listening to Richard Armitage's voice read about characters who love Jane Austen.

This was such a riveting and powerful book! The characters were fleshed out, the story poignant, and the tension palpable. I recommend listening to the audiobook which was read perfectly by the author.
