I was a little disappointed in this book particularly as it was the ending of this series. I did love learning more about the remaining character backstories . However , I was not a fan of a good bit of the ending . I cannot say too much without giving away some of the story line but there were some let down moments . I did appreciate that the ending left things with a peaceful yet open ended type of story . The pacing is a little bit slower than some of the previous books. Overall it is still a great series .
