Paola has the chance to just be thirteen now that her dad is back and taking over the supernatural hunting duties. However, she doesn't think it's fair to go back to the way things were before when she's found a part of who she is and close friends to support her. Also, she still needs to get Dante back.
This final part of the trilogy was more engaging than the middle book. The story followed a truly horrifying plot that felt completely out of nowhere. That is what I dislike about these books. There is no overarching motivation for the fight between the void and the world so each story falls flat and isolated from one another. I do appreciate that the humanity of the villains is always addressed and complicates the "evil" narrative.
