Jacks’s heart adventure was quickly done which I appreciated. We saw LaLa who I love and the Hollow again which I adored. All the little Easter eggs to her memories at the beginning were lovely. we did have to wait a minute to see Jacks again but it was scream-worthy when we did. Appreciated the pacing with Evangeline’s memories. Really liked the introduction of new things like vengence’s cuff and the tree of souls because little magical lore based things are some of my favorite parts of Stephanie garbers writing, it just feels so whimsical and magical and a place I would love to visit and explore. I was afraid we would be done with those little lore-based trinkets since it was the last book in the series but she did not disappoint 🙏. Suuuuch a feel good ending with minimal untied ends. THE APPLES GOT ME THOUGH ugh sneaky sneaky steph got me good with this like that was one of the main questions ive had and this girl just leaves us looking at us and smirking and holding up her hands lol. I guess we can dream and wonder abt it ourselves but the lack of finality and clarity with those freaking apples haha. He did say he won’t need them anymore tho so……..hmm. Poor sweet bby jacks though went through it. His dialogue sometimes tho hIt dIfFeReNt like they were quotable pieces of gold. And aurora being behind his prince of hearts-ness was pure evil I was upset. Good writing choice tho to give us background to that AND tie it to current people yes ma’am. LOVED Evangeline’s message abt her chasing other people’s dreams she read about in stories and how those dreams were never hers, they were just collections of dreams she’d heard abt. Poetic masterpiece. This book really took me for an absolutely wonderful, magical, and heat wrenching/warming adventure and I loved it. Great stuff 👌. This is my favorite series right next to TOG so if that doesn’t say something idk what will. Ty Stephanie for this work of art.

Content Warnings
Moderate: Death and Violence
Minor: Cursing
Nothing too graphic with the violence but there two times throughout this book a vampire kills some people Evangeline finds.
As far as cursing, he** is used but in moderation, not many times, and bit** is used I think twice
