Esperaba que el final de la trilogía fuera mucho mas emocionante, pero fue bastante simple, casi que paso lo que esperaba que pasara, si bien fue intrigante e interesante.
La verdad es que la trilogía vale la pena, aunque el final se sienta como que falto algo para completarlo.

To be honest, I thought the whole showdown would be bigger and more epic. I also thought Alice's death was futile.
I really liked seeing Lia transform throughout the series; she wasn't as shy anymore.
The romance between Lia and Dimitri is definitely a lot more passionate. A LOT. In fact, in one scene, she is taking a bath and Dimitri's there to dry her off. I found the scene really awkward and not romantic.
I hate the way they talk (which is probably why I hate historical fiction books) but I didn't understand how she could talk to someone she's so close with so formally.
Never really liked this series but I wanted to know how it ended so I did...

Circle of Fire and all the books in the Prophecy series grew better with each novel. Michelle Zink's ability to make me feel like I was there. Whether it is in London or the other places in the series. It was the places and their descriptions that drew me in and made me care about the characters.
The series ended the way it should have. Every story comes to an end and I loved the way this one ended.

In the final book of the Prophecy of the Sisters trilogy Lia still feels like she has more questions than answers. As she works to find the final key and to make sense of the prophecy her sister Alice arrives in London. She brings her fiance, Lia's former love James, with her. The final battle is almost here, but will either of them survive?
I was a little tired of Lia's inability to trust anyone, outside of sexy Dimitri, by the end of this book, especially since she was aware of how poorly she was acting. I was also a bit surprised that after two books of building up evil Alice, suddenly she doesn't even seem like much of a threat. Overall while the book ended well it was a bit underwhelming after such a promising start.

It's a nice book, but not great. It's the end of the trilogie so that's reason enough for me to read it. But well I was rather dissapointed in it. It is more of the same, more searching, more traveling etc. It's just like the books before only the answhers they seek are different this time. And the ending, well it is a nice ending, predictable but stil an element of surprise and less specteculair then I hoped. I really like the writing style tough, it's so different then what I normally read. It is a nice book, but don't expect to much. if you read the first two books, you probably just want to read this because you want to know how it ends.

Nice ending to the series! I loved the first one Prophecy book, didn't mind the second, and I'm more on par with the second with this one too. I love the era and the relationship between the sisters, I don't know exactly what I would have liked better but overall, a good book. :)

flew through that one. Obviously, I needed to see if Lia could save the world. And she did. I am glad she made up with Sonia. Brigid was a great addition as was Gareth. Helene was weird af. The end was sad but I think it made sense. Alice has done so much bad, and that sacrifice was all she could give to right it. I wonder if she made it to the final plane or is just gone forever. I am glad Lia didn't die haha and now she gets to be Lady.
Def felt like less of a placeholder than book two. Book one will still be my favorite although I do like Brigid and Dimitri. I do think James got a bit shafted, poor lad.
