Reading this book it felt like Shannon tried to shove all the things she discovered about her world into this one single last instalment. We learned so many new things, go to know new characters and everything just…. exploded. 

It felt like she, by writing this book, discovered so much more about the story she wanted to tell. But knowing she only had one book left, she tried to shove it all into one. 

Then she also did decide to add a 50 pages wrap up. Which for me, is way too long. 

A good book, but I do think that, for the series as a whole, all the information and plot points could’ve been divided better.
