I received an eARC of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of this review.

Destiny Rising by Siobhan Davis is the final book in her True Calling series that follows the story of Ari, Zane and Cal as they fight for freedom on Earth under the tyranny of Novo. Ari and Cal are safe in an underwater facility after Novo bombed their headquarters in Florida. Zane having been left behind in the Connecticut facility in a coma after being shot, his heart failing him. Can Ari save everyone she loves AND free Earth?

Please note that if you have not read the previous books in this series that there are minor, unavoidable spoilers in this review!

Oh Ari! What am I to do with you? She grew up SO much this book. I had found her a bit annoying with her immaturity during the last two books, BUT that changes in this one. She makes huge headway with her psychic ability and she finally chooses between the two guys. Her memories are back too and boy does that not help her decision or her heart! I ached for her in this book and the choices she had to make.

Cal, who if you've followed my reviews you know he's not my favorite, grew on me as well. He's got a better hold of his temper as his hormones start to settle after everything that was done to him on Novo. On top of that his memories are back as well. His love/obsession for Ari is still there, along with his insecurity in her love for him. BUT he does a big thing, or maybe a rash thing when he tells her he's making the decision for her. Read the book and you decide ;)

Zane....oh Zane. I shipped you from the beginning :D Zane has a rough go in this book. And I feel like he gets the short end of the stick as well. Maybe that's just in my head though. His love and devotion to Ari and her family come first in ALL his decisions, but a choice that Ari makes at about halfway will change his character drastically!

So the plot of this book is more romantic than action I felt. It centered on Ari and the two guys and then during the last chapter you get the explosive all-out action scene. One thing I do like, even if I personally didn't agree, is that the author has Ari choose between Zane and Cal early on (at like 30-40%) so the love triangle is gone and there is more focus on the other guy rebuilding his life AND the actual romance between Ari and her choice. This I liked! I hate it when a triangle is dragged out too long.

My only dislike, and this is why it received 4 instead of 5 stars, is that I felt like there wasn't enough explanation to the war between the rebels and Novo. Also there really wasn't much on the actual rebellion. There was a lot of information about the romance, but little focus on the war and what led to it. As I already stated, the last two chapters of the book are explosive (figuratively and literally) and are the only time the book focuses solely on the bigger plot point.

Overall I love the series and this is a good conclusion....even if I didn't agree with Ari's choice ;) I do wish the battle between the rebels and Novo was explained more but really all in all it's a great book! If you're a fan of the series, I doubt you'll be disappointed. If you enjoy sci-fi, fantasy, and dystopians go get the books!
