In the first half I feel like we went on a couple of side quests I truly did not care for. I don't really see the point of them, and I think this book would have gone the same way without them. The second half felt dragged out, low stakes, and way too easily resolved. It just felt like such a letdown to me. The villain also lost all its interesting aspects as Laura Thalassa just decided to make him a horndog in this one. It made everything just feel so lame. There's also a couple of twists that I thought were incredibly obvious, but the main characters acted like they were the biggest revelations ever. So yeah, I just didn't have a good time reading this book.
I didn't hate it though. I especially liked Callie in this book. I feel like she embraces her darker parts in this book, and truly because the badass this entire series has been claiming she is. She had some truly epic moments in this book. There were still some decent plot moments as well, and even though the two main characters constantly have sex the romance also didn't bother me too much in this one. So yeah, a bit of a womp womp of an ending.

It does have some flaws and moments where I’m cursing Laura that she didn’t give more details for example with Temper and Malakai. What I’d give for a spin off novella just to learn more about Temper’s powers and her backstory as well as the relationship between her and Malakai.
But ultimately Dark Harmony is an amazing ending to this series, it’s my favourite and an easy 5⭐️

“I love you, Callie, down to every feather and scale. I love your darkness, I love your mind, I love your humor and your most coveted dreams. And I love how you love me—wholly, deeply, passionately. “You’re not normal; you’ll never be normal. I’m so sorry to tell you that. You are so blindingly extraordinary that it physically hurts me sometimes, and I’ll never stop pushing you to believe this.”
I really loved the first half of this book! I love that we got more of Callie and des being happy and in love🫶 I won’t lie tho, this entire book had me anxious. Callie is constantly saying “we don’t get to have normal, we don’t get to be happy like this for long” like she’s always waiting for the other shoe to drop. It made me enjoy the happy parts of the book less, waiting for something to rip them apart or Callie to be kidnapped again.
I was a little disappointed in some of the twists we got in this book. There was so much foreshadowing thrown in our faces that by the time Callie (the world’s worst PI) figured it out I was like uhh yeah duh???
I hate to say it but I really liked the thief of souls, I was picturing him as Loki. I thought the ending was a little anticlimactic for something that had been building for 4 books to the Big Bad Villain™.
After reading the last book from des’ pov I was really missing it in this one. Callie’s inner monologue is still cringey to me! I know we didn’t get des’ pov bc it would’ve ruined the plot twist but I just loved reading through his eyes.
Overall, I really liked the series and can see myself rereading in the future! The audiobooks were all great too.
