“Someone to mourn me. (…) Don’t let me be alone.”
Definitely better than the second book.
Still, I didn’t like the way it ended. Also, I would have liked more appearances from the Darkling and from Nikolai. Both characters had more potential and carried a lot of scenes for me.
Despite that it had intriguing moments that made me continue to read and it was easy to get into it.
As a whole the trilogy was a pleasant read and overall, I enjoyed it.
