I am here to inform you that many, many years later, I have finally finished Immortal Reign!! I'm looking forward to taking a few more books off my currently-reading list this year but here's the first of them, and as a bonus, a conclusion to a series that I began reading when it was first released.
As far as endings go, this one was satisfying? My memory of the first five books (and also the one hundred pages that I read at the end of 2018) was questionable but it didn't impact on my reading a whole lot which I think is a win for the author. Everything was tied up nicely and there were some great moments where characters were forced to make decisions that would determine their destiny (or in some cases, defy it).
This is one of those series where I have grown a lot as a person alongside it due to the length of it and one book releasing a year (see: all of CC's books), and though it's been a few years since I've really been obsessed with Falling Kingdoms I appreciate the chance to finish the series and in a way conclude a chapter of my life, and my love for it. I can't say my rating isn't unbiased by nostalgia, but I did really enjoy this book and encourage you to check out this series if you're into fantasy, multiple perspective narratives, or dark princes and golden princesses.

4 Stars!
Finally finished this series, omg that end made me tear up 😢 definitely happy I tried it again despite struggling closer to the end of the series.
I’m not a huge fan of audiobooks so it was hard at times to want to listen to it, but the person reading aloud did a very good job and I’m just glad I gave this series a second change.
I love these characters ❤️

I am in awe at how amazing this book was! I loved it sooo much!! I am so sad that this series is over. It's a new favorite series of mine. This series will stick with me forever, and I can't wait to reread these books in the future. Even though I loved all the books, this one is by far my favorite. It was an amazing, satisfying conclusion :) I can't wait to read her other books now.

Well for the positives: I'm happy Cleo and Magnus got their happy ending, but it wasn't satisfying.
Negatives: plot lines left unfinished or rushed to a bland ending that I wasn't happy with, questions unanswered. This book was really disappointing after how amazing Crystal Storm had been.
And frankly, 6 books later I still don't really care about anyone other than Magnus and Cleo, they're all so utterly boring.

The title is about Magnus and Cleo becoming immortal and ruling Mytica right. Like I'm calling it now but that's what the prophecy stuff was about in the other series righttttttt.

This final book of the Falling Kingdoms series changed the plot from a Game of Thrones style battle to a Disney movie where all the heroes live happily ever after. Like, I'm glad it all worked out for the best, but everything was just a little too convenient for my tastes.
And GOODNESS ME did people make bad decisions in this book. I had really high hopes for this series, and I did fall in love with the characters, but the last 2 books did go downhill really. I realise that the story line had to change, since the fight was against ethereal Gods rather than a fight for the throne, but I think the last 2 books suffered and lost a lot of impact.
But, it was still enjoyable.

I love this fantasy series. The immortal reign was a good wrap to the series. I love the series as whole but the final book felt rushed and wrapped up in a pretty bow. I am going to miss the character. Check out my review of the book :-->
