How do you cope when you finish the last book in one of your favorite series???

Damn, this was good. It was so, so good. I don’t have words to describe how good this was.

I was invested in this book before it came out. The cliffhanger in the fifth book stayed with me for an entire year, and I knew without a doubt that I’d love this. It gave me so many feelings, and I loved it so much.

These characters have come so far since the first book, and I’m sad to let them go. Cleo is still my favorite, Magnus a close second, and I grew to like and care for the rest of the ensemble. Jonas was my least favorite earlier in the series, but now I even like him. Lucia and Magnus had amazing character arcs. Even Amara wasn’t as insufferable. The end of her story has me curious. I really ship Ashur and Nic, by the way. Their relationship was on the back burner for a lot of this book because of various obstacles, but they’re happy in the end and that’s what matters.

I love Magnus and Cleo so much!! They’re one of my top ships. I was so worried for them throughout this book, and I’m so glad they both survived. Their feelings for each other were so strong and I was honestly so desperate for them to get their happy ending. All that business with Cleo and the water Kindred, with Magnus and Kyan, was nerve-wracking. But then after everything, they were okay, they were king and queen, and Cleo is having a son!!! I love how their story ended, they definitely deserve it, but why don’t I get more information?!!?? I need to know about their baby boy!! Novella? Pretty please?

Everything hit the fan in the second half of this book, as expected. The Kindred were great, intricate antagonists, and I never knew what to expect. They almost took over the world, almost destroyed the world, almost sunk my ship and ground it to powder. That’s definitely a way to get my heart beating faster. And the final face-off in the Auranian palace was so great! It was intense, and then the orbs were shattered and my favs finally got their ending together.

Immediately after finishing this, I ordered the first four books in this series from Amazon so I could have the complete hardcover set. I don’t know what else to do, honestly. I’m over the moon happy right now, because no one important died, but I also wish there was more. I’m mourning the end of the series, but it’s the happiest mourning period I’ve had.

My emotions are keeping me from making sense. Oops.

I’ve rambled enough. Long story short, I absolutely loved this finale, and this series is in my top five of all time. The end.
