This was wonderfully fast-paced and intriguing most of the way through, and, having been in a reading slump, I finished it within a few hours.

Small inaccuracies aside, it was a pretty good book overall. That is, until the end, and by the end I mean the literally the last two or three chapters. All that pacing and intrigue was thrown out the window

for an anticlimatic and utterly unsatisfying ending.

Fayette has so much build up as this all-mighty, ever growing more powerful character. Then she died within, what? A single chapter? And everything was perfect and tied up in a happy little bow. Which made the entire book seem pointless. Why spend so much time dithering about the subject of killing her only for her to die in the simpliest, most boring way possible?
