This was by far my favorite love story of the series. It was nice to see some old faces and get to know the new ones. Not all of the questions are answered but everything was still wrapped up nicely.

FINALLY - the series has reached its conclusion. Am I happy that it’s over? Oh yeah. Am I happy to have read it to see what all the fuss was about. Nope! 

This has got to be one of the most over hyped, underwhelming series I’ve read. It’s such an intriguing premise, and maybe with a better writer it could have been better, but I’m sorry to say that I just don’t think Ms. Thalassa is that good of a writer - repetitive and recycled plots, terrible “romance” and sex scenes, ham-fisted morality, all rounded up in seemingly half-researched settings. 

Anyways, I’ve slogged through and now I can put them behind me without any lingering thoughts.

Good apart from 

Spoiler

I would have rated higher if the HEA didn't include babies and the book hadn't used a infant as motivation. I prefer my reads to be child free.

and I would skip the epilogue because of it.
