My Review
3 out of 5 stars
I guess I’m happy I finished the series, but there wasn’t anything in this conclusion that stood out to me. This book finally resolved the alter-ego plot that was dragged all the way through the ground, but only because it was forced to due to this being the last book. Really, the suspense of it died after book one because it was dragged on so long and it just became unbelievable of how oblivious the characters were to it. Though Mrs. Meyer did find a way to drag it even more into the ground in this novel. The whole time I just wanted it to be completely buried! xD
Then we move on more to Ace Anarchy himself, which resolves in a kind of predictable and unsatisfying way. There’s still a decent amount of character development for our main characters, but kind of along my spoiler comments, it could have been more complex with a better plot. But Nova and Adrian still have to come into their own in this concluding novel, which is pulled off.
The ending leaves with the plot of the trilogy resolved, but there is a thing out of left field thrown in that leaves a lot of potential for a continuation. I’m not sure I’d read it, even though I have read everything written by Mrs. Meyer thus far. Though I enjoy her characters, the plots and worlds of her other books were more interesting to me than this one. I guess I’ll see if a continuation or spin-off is ever announced. It’s already been a whole year and there hasn’t been anything.
I’m still happy I read it as Mrs. Meyer writes fun characters and it is just really easy to read.
My goodreads review has a few spoiler thoughts, so if you’d like to know more feel free to check that out.
