I love a good happy ending where everything wraps up neatly. Alanna picked the right man! I'm so happy for them. There was a little bit of sadness, but it was beautiful and made this a very well balanced novel. This is such a wonderful series, and I'm really glad I found it, even if I'm an adult now. I highly recommend this series for anyone looking for an easy to read fantasy series with very a very strong female lead!
