Every single book in this series is such a winner. I will definitely be rereading them in the future.
For this final installment, I LOVED how the central issue of the door/the sacrifice was resolved. It wasn't what I expected, but it was still really satisfying! The twist with Becket made me feel so sad for him. I also liked how the issue of Saint's paternity was handled, even if there's part of me that wishes we found out definitively - it does work better for the narrative without being firm. And of course, as always, the sexy times were all very fun and steamy.

RE: Suicide and suicide attempt: the characters don't want to die, but a sacrifice needs to be made & two of them make attempts, while one is successful. The successful suicide is kind of reversed by magic, though.
