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.
