CONTAINS SPOILERS

A nice and well-paced conclusion to a highly enjoyable series. This final book was much easier to get through than previous books.

While I always enjoy romance, at times it felt forced throughout this book (i.e. Faye and Percival’s romantic interests). However, Mercy and Tamriel’s love story was beautifully developed and got the happy ending they deserved.

One thing that I was not happy with was Cassia’s sudden death. I felt it was cruel and unnecessary, as Mercy has already suffered the loss of her sister Liselle and her parents. I know that a main character had to die in the battle, but I felt it should’ve been someone else (cough cough Calum).

I will probably end up rereading the series in the future as I was completely charmed by Mercy’s character, and want to watch her and Tamriel fall in love all over again.
