This was a very satisfying ending to the trilogy. I especially enjoyed the dual pov as it was the perfect way to tell the story of the last book. 
Personally, I am not the biggest fan of Garner's storytelling because I feel like the jumps in time sometimes make things seem to random or like the characters aren't as important as they should be. 
I still enjoyed Tella more than Scarlett but I definitely grew fonder of Scar in this book.

Scar turning out to be half-fate came as kind of a surprise but then again it explained why she had been seeing colours all the time and why the sisters look nothing alike. I am still not quite sure how I feel about Tella and Jacks because I felt like there were too many things unexplained to believe he would have become so obsessed with her. I enjoyed that Tella and Legend finally got together and felt like him sacrificing his immortality for her was a very fitting ending to their love story. She truly did safe him.

Amazing. Just the best way to end such an amazing trilogy. I’m kinda sad that it’s come to an end but so glad to have read it. These books have been like emotional support for me and I’m telling you it works. The twists and turns keep coming and despite having been worried at the end that it all wouldn’t be tied together the end was magnificent. I really recommend them to everyone.

i’m happy we got Scarlett’s POV back and i think i’m in the minority when i say i enjoyed her part of the story much more than i did Tella’s.
