This book was an okay read, but a disappointing conclusion to the series. 

I have always enjoyed the show of consequences to any action/choice, and can even accept the consequences Kelsea is faced with in the conclusion, but the drastic change in characters' personalities/choices, abrupt introduction of convenient powers, discarded side storylines, and holes/imcompletion in the main plot were increadibly frustrating. It really just felt like the author didn't know how to wrap up the story and  patchworked some stuff together, leaving gaping holes.

I have to agree with others who said what a disappointing ending this was to a truly engaging series. I loved the characters and the development we got to see and then what a letdown in those last 2 chapters.
