A disappointing ending to a very enjoyable series.
The small tidbits that we had scene from the previous books of Merrit painted a fascinating character, however, unfortunately she seems to have taken much from her father and not enough from her mother. Which was unfortunate, but didn’t make the book dreadful. Just a little bit boring every once in a while.
The male lead was… fine. I don’t personally have any real opinion on him, other than, perhaps, the fact that the plot twist was very predictable.
But, I enjoyed seeing old characters reappear, which really shines in the strengths of this novel. It’s definitely feels like fan service (which is great!).
