It was decent. Not great, but okay. 

What I liked:
- Finally some steaminess for the romances.
- Harper and Rhen finally addressing their utter lack of communication. 

What I didn’t like:
- How anti-climactic the end battle was. 
- The body horror.

Although parts of this dragged on for too long, it is the best possible ending for this trilogy and I think fans will be satisfied. If not, there’s always fanfic. 

Loves found, brothers united, and a war avoided. The final destruction of Lillith came so quickly I almost didn’t realize it was happening. Resolving every conflict would have felt cheap but I’m left with so many questions. Will the crew be able to patch the wounds of these two countries? Will Rhen and Grey be able to truly work together? Now that their immediate goals have been accomplished, will Jake and Noah go back to DC? Do they still want to? Can Harper and Lia Mara forge their own friendship?

I really liked how the series wrapped up

but I think the story could have been ended a LOT better in terms of the last scene.

A book about war with almost no battles. Very character driven. I loved the dynamics between Grey and Rhen, but thought that Lia Mara's character was not given much in the story. It was cool to see the characters get to be very flawed. Overall I enjoyed and thought it was a good, but somewhat open-ended, conclusion to the series.
