Whew. I got a little worried toward the end and wasn't sure if I could finish. There were so many plot points to keep up with and I felt like every couple of pages was some sort of mind-boggling plot twist, martyrdom, or marathon between characters racing to the finish before their clock stopped. Ultimately I liked it but I'm glad it's over.

The last book of this series, what!? I cannot believe it's over now! Such an epic ending to an incredible series. I did find the middle part of the book a little bit slow, I just wanted them to move quicker then they really did, but other than that, I have no complaints! This series will forever be one of my favourites

This was an epic conclusion to this series and had me crying, on edge and smiling by the end. There were a few plot holes/areas I found lacking or unnecessary, but overall a fantastic book.
