This could have been much much better. Seriously, this plot is wasted.
I really loved it, but that's exactly why I think the author could get more from this book. I'd have loved to know more about Elin, Tolven, Nys, Matthew, Allie... even Liza! The story is too short, too fast.
Maybe it's just the sadness... having to say goodbye to this trilogy will be hard. Faerie and the human world are just too interesting to let them go.
Well, a good book nonetheless.
The Best
The last chapters, of course. The writing style is unique and it gets to touch you.
The least Best
The story could have been more complete if we've got to read another character's POV. Liza's was somewhat limited.

The past was like fear. I could not let it control me. People failed me. I failed them. Knowing this, we kept fixing what we could. Sometimes by holding on. Sometimes-by letting go.

I liked this book, but there were a few issues I had with it... And for some reason it took me forever to read...

I started this series ten years ago, and hadn’t realized there was a third. It was a delight to come back to.

He llegado al final de la trilogía y cuesta dejarla, como si las raíces del árbol de Quia se hubieran arraigado en mi alma. Toda la historia tiene un cierre completo, conocemos el destino de cada personaje, conocemos el precio de la magia y de la guerra, pero también descubrimos como a veces lo mejor es dejar ir, porque eso es lo correcto.
Disfruté mucho con la aparición de nuevos personajes, reencontrarme con los conocidos pero por sobretodo caminar de nuevo por Faerie, por su historia y su pasado.
El único punto negativo que podría encontrar es que me hubieran gustado más batallas, más luchas y ver las habilidades del pueblo de las hadas, que otros dones esconde su gente.
En definitiva, si les gusta la fantasía, las hadas y la magia, esta trilogía es para ustedes.

After finishing this trilogy, the second book was the best, but I still wish this had been better. It has such an interesting concept, but just wasn't given the depth it deserved.
