Garden of Serpents is a satisfying ending to a quick, entertaining series. Just like book 2, you get a summary of the series thus far at the beginning, so it was nice to get that recap. I loved the opening chapter. It had my heart racing. Then book immediately went into the plot, no filler. Perfect. I enjoyed the story of betrayal, all the sexy temptation, cool magic, action and thrills. But I thought it was way more sad and sentimental than the last 2, by far. You get heightened, then it cools down. Not what I expected.

The transformation of Orion was great. This book told his story of being in the dungeons and was heartbreaking. He seemed completely different in this book, all honest and lovey dovey. Tame, yet dangerous. I didn't like that as much. Where is my bad to the bone dude! I liked him being wild, giving insults and being defiant. I wanted more fighting between him and Rowan, instead of let's work together. Rowan is a bold confident heroine, and I love that about her. She knows her goal and is a ride or die. Love that.

The other characters introduced were OK. You could tell right away they where setup for the plot later down the line. I wanted more from them as they didn't entertain me for the most part. I kept expecting more. I enjoyed the story line with Kas and how he called folk out-I mean he was right. And I'm confused about Shai still.

The ending (last chapter)...I won't spoil it, but it didn't do for me. A complete detraction from Rowan and Owen's story to vie for the throne and it brought me down. I want to be selfish about just them two and I felt some type of way.

Overall, but I did enjoy the series. Fun, entertaining, kinda sexy and informative about magic/demons. You already knew the ending, but getting there was fun.
