I am so in love with this book series! And this book is such a wonderful conclusion to the series (although more in this universe would be awesome, too!) that it's hard to know where to start with singing it's praises. My absolute favorite part would be a massive spoiler, so I'm not giving that away, but you'll probably know it when you reach it. While there is still plenty of well-written and well-described violent scenes, there's nothing like the horrific cannibalistic scene from [b:Indigo|34670388|Indigo (Dark Republic #2)|D.L. Young|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1490299808l/34670388._SY75_.jpg|55709412], thankfully! (That scene was so well done, though, that I was literally holding my reader at arm's length and trying not to drop it in disgust! The mark of a good book is the reactions it elicits from it's readers!!)

NOTE: I received this book as an ARC, but I've also pre-ordered it and my review is uninfluenced by how I received it. I really just love these books! <3
