Good ending to the series

I didn't want the series to be over! What a crazy ride for Fi and her mates, and I'm glad that the story did go the way it did.

I loved the epilogue, but definitely wanted more!

Because of how fast I read this trilogy, all three books kinda blend together so I am just going to write one review for all three. I will try my hardest to not give any spoilers.

Overall, I really liked this trilogy. It was a fast and easy read. I went in with low expectations so it was actually better than I thought it was going to be. My biggest issue with this trilogy is that it seemed unpolished/unfinished. It read almost like a rough draft of a story rather than being a completed, published book. There were a lot of good ideas and a lot of potential, but in the end the whole trilogy left me wanting more.

One thing I really love about this world/trilogy is the idea of a mating circle. I absolutely love the mate trope. I would say my biggest guilty pleasure is a wattpad style werewolf/vampire mate story. This trilogy had something I had never seen before which was that the fae feel a matting pull to multiple people who have compatible magic and/or kindred souls, but they get to chose if or when they take mates. I loved this because you still get the mate trope but our main character also gets to have a choice in who she spends the rest of her life with. I also like the idea of having multiple mates. All the mate tropes I have read have been one main character only having one mate. I really liked the idea of having multiple mates that are all different and balance out our main character in different ways.

It's sad that this trilogy wasn't more fleshed out because this could've easily been 4 or 5 stars, in fact I would say the last book did push up to a 3.5/4 stars for me but I decided to just give the whole trilogy 3 stars. I would definitely recommend this trilogy if you are looking for a quick and fun read.

I enjoyed this story overall, but I do think the ending fell flat unfortunately. There was so much build up and then they sorta said ‘well now we’ve started the revolution and we have a lot of work to do’ and then it skips forward a decade to after all the work is done
