I loved the conclusion to this epic fantasy romance!
This series is one of my all time favorite and already I’m planning on when I will give it a reread.
In this final installment for Thea and Wilder’s story we finally face the war that has been building in Thezmarr. But we start with a BANG at the Scarlet Tower rescuing Wilder. While I was glad they were reunited quickly I did think this was pretty fast. But again, I didn’t mind!
I thought the fighting and battle scenes were really well done. It was exciting and nail biting! In fact that really felt like the focus of this book.
Secondly, we have the romance. Wilder absolutely worships Thea and the ground she walks on. She love him fiercely. I love how often they said they loved each other in this. We had a lot to make up for following book three! The spice scenes were great as well.
With regard to the side characters, Cal and Kip had their banter but I wish we saw more of them. I loved the growing dynamic between the three sisters. It brought me to tears. Of course, the twist at the end there was crazy! I sobbed!
I loved the glimpses of Due and Tal and Ryland. I need to read Tal’s book so bad! I loved seeing his relationship mended with Wilder.
My favorite part was the way the prophecy played out. It melded together to well, the final show down gave me chills.
There are some unanswered questions at the end but of course, that’s because we’re not done with the world of Thezmarr! This book clearly sets up Wren and Torj’s story and I can not wait for it!
