... the end of the Frost Chronicles. I did get attached to this series and the characters in it. I may have been in an overly emotional mood (it's been that kind of week) but as I finished this up, there were tears. My first thought was 5 stars ... although while I did really like this series, I'm not sure it's as up there as some of my other 5-star ratings. And that may be more of a reflection on the series as a whole, not just this book.
I glanced at some of the other reviews and I can totally understand some frustration with the story here (as I think back on it, it was a bit convoluted)and how the epilogue just wrapped everything up in a pretty bow. I can see some not liking that ... but I must admit I liked it. Just to have everything (for the next 20+ years) quickly explained, complete closure. I guess I needed that right now and was happy to have it!

Wow, just wow! I am so excited that this book, the ending novel, was so incredible. It took turns that I didn't expect and I am satisfied with the ending. I am a little sad that the story is over, but the epilogue was good. I'm so glad that we got to see so much. For books that don't seem too long, these have so much action and plot. I fell in love with the characters.
Reading it the second time - it felt really rushed. Maybe I expect a bit more now or I've lived with these characters for so long that I want her to make a decision. She seems to be a little more spoiled and honestly I didn't like how Adam and she parted ways for awhile. The city was incredible.

A solid conclusion to the Frost series. I would've been happier if the ending had left some things up to the imagination. It bothers me in a love triangle when the author spins the story so the girl ends up with both boys at one point; it feels like cheating.

Keeping it short and concise:
I regret the time that i wasted on this series.
This turned out to be one of the most absurd, boring, convoluted, time wasting things i've ever read! I kept hoping that this would get better, and it never did!!
Spoiler
We're told in the end, that adam and Lia get married, and live together for about twenty years, and then he catches pneumonia, and dies. And that's it...let's bring the other contestant: HERE'S GABE!! Wait a year..okay, you can get married....I'm mad like...
