This was, in my opinion, the best book in the series. Things actually happened and eventhough some things were obvious, there were still some surprises. Luce was less annoying than in the previous books and I really liked the storyline. Never thought I'd say this but I actually even felt bad for Lucifer lmao. The ending made me happy and sad at the same time, and I was debating whether I should give it 4 stars but decided against it because it bothers me that
1.) There was way too little of Cam. I know there is an entire book dedicated to his story but I would've loved to see him interact more with Luce and Daniel;
And 2.) What did they even tell Luce's parents when she never returned home from Sword & Cross? lol
Overall it was a very nice book, even if it had some flaws. It gave the series a very good ending and eventhough I didn't even like the series as a whole all that much, it made me feel a little nostalgic.

It was SO CRAZY! I loved the ending and was impressed with the massive twist in the plot. Can't wait to do a rant/review on this!

Number one: there are more than 432 pages in this book. Somebody counted wrong.
Number two: I am generously rating this book a three. There are so many things about this book that drive me insane. First of all, seriously?! This entire ordeal happened because Luce betrayed Lucifer in heaven. Again, seriously?! How do you go from "heaven is wonderful, heaven is the best, the Throne is the Almighty, blah blah blah..." to "Hey I'm Lucifer and I'm just going to fuck shit up because I want to and because the other angel who I thought loved me really doesn't, but I don't want to listen to her..."
Just.................no. On so many levels.
Number Three: The pace of this book about drove me insane. This is the FINAL book here Lauren, you don't think you could have made their pace a little bit more urgent. There were times when I was reading this and I had to put it down and leave it alone because these characters were moving like they had all the time in the fucking free world, when they really only had less than nine days to stop the whole of existence from being wiped out by Lucifer.
Number Four: I saw the word "were" placed improperly so many times, that I just wanted to take a red pen and mark up my own copy of Rapture so I wouldn't go crazy every-time I saw it. And, it was always where the word "was" was supposed to be, too.
Last of all, you really needed to explain more about Cam at the end there, Lauren Kate. Just them having a silent moment there when Cam was mentioned doesn't answer anything, actually.
Frustration run rampant, I tell you. >:(
My only hope is that her next book "Teardrop" is really good. I, also, hope that "Fallen in Love" is swell too; I haven't read it yet and I'm just goosing that's not fucked up too.

This is again a series that starts out great and then gradually gets worse.

What do I say about this? It drove me crazy most of the time for multiple reasons. I found myself skipping over paragraphs and literally going "blah blah blah". That's probably just me though. I also found myself annoyed and hungry for answers the entire time. Luckily the answers did finally come in this book and left little questions by the end.
I missed Cam dearly in this book and would totally be up for reading a spinoff about him. I seriously could have used his prescense just a little more; okay, a lot more. Anyway, I felt the way it ended was satisfactory for me. I would have preferred things to have been able to stay the same with Daniel and Luce instead of what actually happened. When I say stay the same, I don't mean with the curse and all. I dont want to say exactly what i want because then this would contain spoilers but i did cry my eyes out towards the end.
I wasn't surprised at all by the revelation pertaining to the curse, the begining of their relationship, and why Luce was a big part of it. I called it during the first book; but it was like a huge revelation when Luce finally discovered for herself.
I found some things mediocre and boring through this series and it sometimes was enough to make me gag with all the sweetness and love between Luce and Daniel but overall the story came together and at least there was a happy ending.
I still ache for Cam though.

I'm done already!? What happened to Cam! And you know, honestly, I'm not satisfied with them being just mortals. I believe that they deserve to have, you know, a never-ending love. They should've both just stayed angels and the Throne should've let them love each other as angels still. It kinda hurts me to think that they will have only their first and last love as humans, with no memory of the past!? That's not what I wanted! They deserve more!
