This one like other reviewers on here say is a bridge for the end. And I could not get past the 50% mark of The Eternal Ones.
It's at complete hold of the final war against the God's of Otera.
The group of is on a side quest to get answers which drags out. And there to much which has to go on for the plot. Not to mention Deka resolving to get over problems from events in this book. I am so upset right now and it shows because I had to come back to this one almost two years later to leave a review.
While I adore these cast of characters the potentials gone. Everything from abilities, growth, and relationship trust. My interest to find out the end was after reading TMO.
But of course thoughts on what I got through of this trilogy finale in The Eternal Ones are coming.
