I wanted more.

What I loved: I mean, we are all reading this story for Jacks. I wanted him to have the ending he deserved and that is what this book provided. I just wanted it in a more developed way.
What I didn't love: I didn't love the switch to a new reader for the parts of Jacks and Apollo. The first two books were read by a single narrator and I didn't feel like the new voice fit the roll of Jacks. The reader sounded a little too old to "play the part" and I liked how Rebecca Soler had done his parts before.
I also felt like there wasn't enough emotional tension for this book. It could have been a novella, or something else could have happened. It was just a couple of plot points that brought us to our happy ending. I expected a happy ending, that is what the whole series is about, but I wanted more story.
Who I'm recommending this to: Anyone who loves fun, fluffy, YA romantasy will like this series. As long as you aren't in it for a complex plot, these are a sweet read.
