Ooof.....this book broke me.
Originally the final book in the series, the installment is almost non-stop action. From about the 40% mark, it was go, go, go all the way to the end. It absolutely kept me on the edge of my seat waiting to find out what would happen next. And, emotionally? It destroyed me. Like, sobbing, tears running down my face, ugly crying in my living room.
Despite the obvious emotional damage inflicted on me, this was a fantastic way to close out the original series. Even with all the action, the author still managed to give us plenty of facetime with our favorite characters. She did a great job balancing all the really emotional heavy stuff with funny and sweet moments (Alexei's snark will never not make me smile). And, of course, the steam level is still super high.
While I'm super excited that I still have two novellas and a novel left to read and more time to spend in this world, if those things didn't exist this would have been wonderful ending to the story.
