The Cursed Sea by Lauren DeStefano

I'm always scared when diving into a last book of a series but not as bad with a duology because the journey hasn't been that long. Yet, I was still nervous because I loved the first book so much! I mean, King Midas-like stuff... Awesome, right? All that glitters is definitely gold!

I still loved Wil, and she really grew as a character. She wasn't the same girl we remember at the beginning of book one. Instead, she's become stronger and braver and I really like her love for her family! My boys, Loom and Gerdie, were back! Gerdie is just my cute, little, science baby! Every time, he was on the page, I was consumed!

There were some twists, lots of fun, romance, and beautiful writing! The one thing I found a little odd was the POV shifts within sections. I can't recall if that was done in book one, but I'm sure it was! I just wished POVs would have been switched by chapters or page breaks within the chapter! But other than that, it was excellent and the ending was perfect!
