This book got me!
“So you’d rather live without me?”
“I’d rather you live.”
“I am living, Jacks, and I am not going to die anytime soon.” Evangeline
closed her eyes and then she kissed him.
It was a kiss like a prayer, quiet, almost pleading, made of tremulous lips
and nervous fingers. It felt like reaching out in the dark, hoping to find alight.
The moment I read that line I kid you not-
I gasped and my eyes widened so hard!!! Like Stephanie, fan service delivery!
I loved this series and the ending was so satisfying despite the trials and plot.
Every scene was necessary for the plot. She outdid herself with this masterpiece. As a writer, this is one of those moments where I am honestly starstruck at how beautifully orchestrated the story was and how the characters grew!

Whilst I enjoyed the easy read that this book was, it did leave me feeling a little disappointed and underwhelmed. I felt a lot of the anticipation built in th second book unfortunately did not reach its peak in the third, and left a lot of questions unanswered. The mix of three POVS personally worked for me but I did feel like there wasn't enough Jacks POV's. I felt the love declaration was somewhat missing despite it being set up to be immense in the first two books.
I'm so pleased Jacks and Eva got their happy ending, and it was an enjoyable read but overall it just didn't quite live up to the first books, which is a shame as I really really wanted to love this.

Y’all. I read this the day it came out & have struggled to review it, especially after seeing all the people disappointed with it. For me, this was PERFECT. I loved this conclusion & wouldn’t change a thing! I thought it was the most romantic & the focus of the two fighting for what they wanted aaagg (trying to avoid spoilers). Conclusions are always so difficult to write & the only other time in recent years I’ve found one as perfect as this was The Winter of the Witch by Katherine Arden.
Garber’s writing is so beautiful! I’m impressed with how it keeps getting better. In this installation she did a masterful job building off of the foundations she set in the first two books & I loved where she focused this one. I laughed, I cried, I loved every second of this journey. Thank you, Stephanie!!
ps I included the quote at the top because I think it explains a lot of what her intent was & it just worked so well. I love this storybook atmosphere she’s created 🥰
