This is a wonderful end to a truly awesome series! But。。。 it felt rushed。 Ms。 Grey's endings in this series have always been full of adrenaline and total page-turners, but it just felt like a rollercoaster flying to the end。 To be honest, it might be because I read the prologue where Ms。 Grey explains there are not going to be 4 books in this series as originally planned。 That the story would wrap with the end of this, the 3rd book。 So I was expecting this, and maybe that is why it felt rushed。 This is a wonderful end to a truly awesome series!

You bet I did! Did it stop my from hurling through the last pages with baited breath to see how it ends? Nah, I couldn't help myself! I am sad to see it end because it is such a special, wonderful, series。 The characters, both good and bad, are oh so real。 I dare you to not find yourself feeling some of the same emotions as Summer when faced with your snarky bullies!There was one little part at the end that felt like it was just wrapping up a lose end and was totally NOT believable, but I will leave you to discover that on your own。 No spoilers here! ;-) 。。。more
Brooke Cee,
I'm actually wondering what I just read。 Love the first two books, but I don't know who these sad, weak characters were。 Very disappointing。 I'm actually wondering what I just read。 Love the first two books, but I don't know who these sad, weak characters were。 Very disappointing。 。。。more

Great finish to the series。 Sad we don't get 4 books but it wraps up nicely and she can come back to the world later for sure! Great finish to the series。 Sad we don't get 4 books but it wraps up nicely and she can come back to the world later for sure! 。。。more
Amy,
A satisfying conclusion。 This has been a fun, interesting series。 All the books were easy to read and easy to enjoy。 Maybe we will get more set in this world?
Amy,
I really enjoyed this book and series but The last biok did feel a bit rushed。 I felt like some parts were not as developed as they could’ve been, and as though at times it was racing towards the finish line。

An average finish to an outstanding series You know the feeling you start off a race too strong and by the end your muscles are frozen and stiff and your body won’t listen and you basically feel like a pile of mush, hoping to get to the finish line。 That is how this series felt。 Books one and two are fantastic but book three fell apart。 I hate giving a poor review to one of my favorite authors and favorite series (the first two books will always have a place in my heart) but I can’t lie either。 An average finish to an outstanding series You know the feeling you start off a race too strong and by the end your muscles are frozen and stiff and your body won’t listen and you basically feel like a pile of mush, hoping to get to the finish line。 That is how this series felt。 Books one and two are fantastic but book three fell apart。 I hate giving a poor review to one of my favorite authors and favorite series (the first two books will always have a place in my heart) but I can’t lie either。 The great pacing completely stopped and the fun plot twists all but died in book three。 It felt like the author simple ran out of steam for book three。 Would I recommend this series? Yes, because the first two are simply fantastic but I would warn all future readers that book three falls short; however, it’s still worth reading, because the world building is magical and the characters will capture your heart - like any great book。 I plan to read her future stuff because I recognize her talent and sometimes great authors make mistakes。 I can’t wait to see what else she writes。 。。。more

Stef,
Perhaps it is due to the fact that I sort of lost touch with this series until this book was published, but it fell flat for me。 I feel like I expected something different or。。。a feeling of catharsis somewhere along the way (which unfortunately I didn't get)。 Having said that, I do believe that the story had a lot of potential especially in the beginning。If this trope floats your boat, I do believe you will enjoy it。 Perhaps it is due to the fact that I sort of lost touch with this series until this book was published, but it fell flat for me。 I feel like I expected something different or。。。a feeling of catharsis somewhere along the way (which unfortunately I didn't get)。 Having said that, I do believe that the story had a lot of potential especially in the beginning。If this trope floats your boat, I do believe you will enjoy it。 。。。more

True Confession。。。。。。。fantasy is not my thing。 I read this series at the recommendation of a good friend。 Honestly, I was shocked how much I liked the series! I blew through the first two books in just a few days。 I was so excited to get my hands on this third and final book of the series。 Like the previous two, it did not disappoint!

It's not the best book of the series for me but I loved it。 Especially the ending。wow! What a ending!!! I was disappointed only because there won't be a fourth book。 Now about the book:The third book is like a rollercoaster。 Exactly like a rollercoaster。 You just can't stop reading。And at some point I actually cried。 Yes I cried Ladies and gentlemen。 For me the first book will always have a special room in my heart but the second book was the best book of the series then it's the first book and It's not the best book of the series for me but I loved it。 Especially the ending。wow!

AwesomeI loved this series and understand why it was ended instead of continuing。 The characters became family but dragging it out would have been just that!

Sanne Pronk,
I was excited about this book, then I opened it and read that it was the final book and got disappointed。 Then I started reading it and it was all over the place, felt rushed and nothing made sense。 One moment there are rules about what she can and can’t do, and the next chapter those are ignored。 Something needs to happen, so it just magically happens without propped build up。 I still found it an easy book to just read away so that is why I decided on 3 stars。 The series started out so good, en I was excited about this book, then I opened it and read that it was the final book and got disappointed。 Then I started reading it and it was all over the place, felt rushed and nothing made sense。 One moment there are rules about what she can and can’t do, and the next chapter those are ignored。 Something needs to happen, so it just magically happens without propped build up。 I still found it an easy book to just read away so that is why I decided on 3 stars。 The series started out so good, enemies to lovers style but ended in a badly written book。 。。。more

Felt rushed。I have been waiting for this book to come out for a long while and unfortunately I am left disappointed。 The story felt very rushed to come to a quick conclusion。 There were so many loose ends left unanswered and when you are alrwady invested two books in, it is annoying。

This is a terribly written series。 What interesting is the plot could've totally been legitimate and good but the writing is just SO BAD。 I rant a lot in bad reviews but this series is so trash there is nothing to elaborate on。Also tons of details ripped straight from Sarah Maas' ACOTAR。 This is a terribly written series。 What interesting is the plot could've totally been legitimate and good but the writing is just SO BAD。 I rant a lot in bad reviews but this series is so trash there is nothing to elaborate on。Also tons of details ripped straight from Sarah Maas' ACOTAR。 。。。more

I loved this book, and the series。。。 it’s just 👌🏼👌🏼。 That being said, I REALLY wanted another book after this one。 I’m happy that it’s come to an end, but i need a book about Eclipsa (and hopefully Hellebore) and a book about Mack and Asher。
