A Decently Satisfying End to the Series

I’ll admit that after the 2nd book(which I thought was pretty bad) I didn’t have very high hopes for this one but I was decently surprised. I don’t think it’s as good as the 1st book but it is miles better than the 2nd.

The main story arcs with Lou and Reid have definitely been done before and I’ll say that I didn’t like what the author did with Reid’s character in this book. It does all come back together in the end but still it felt like going backwards and I would have much rather seen Reid’s character moving forward for once. Book 2’s cliffhanger for Lou takes up about the first 3rd of this book and after that till the near end, Reid’s story takes over. However, despite that I still enjoyed this book and I thought Reid and Lou had some great scenes together(especially the steamy scenes 🔥).

The side characters don’t feel as prominent in this one but I still enjoyed them, even the new additions. Without spoiling who the new ones are I will say that I didn’t except to like them but I actually did and thought they rounded out the group quite nicely.

The main plot line is still the same. Trying to unite the kingdom to defeat Lou’s mom and such. However, it didn’t drag as much in this book as in the 2nd and because of their side quests it felt like things kept moving. The final battle wasn’t anything great but it was good enough to kept me interested and I thought it brought a decently satisfying end to the overall story.

In the end I’m glad I listened to this series and would definitely be interested in checking out more from this author. 🖤

Narration was tough.

I enjoyed this book more than I expected to after book two kind of let me down. I have other books by Holter Graham and I'm really not a fan. The story I enjoyed, but I found myself grumbling every time the narration switched back to Reid's perspective.

Love love love

I absolutely adore Holter Graham's narration in this series. Usually I'm not a fan of male narration, but I am just in awe of his voice and inflection.

The story took unexpected turns, and I usually get annoyed by some of the turns this one takes but I really enjoyed it in this book.

The female protagonist is also a character that is so starkly different from what I'm like or what I vibe with and I was worried in the first book if I would like her, but I really do. I think the backstory was important in that case.

Wow

Absolutely amazing. Emotional, action packed, nonstop from start to finish. The narrators did character voices so well, and this was a perfect ending to the series. ❤️

I loved this book.

Great story great characters.
This book list an overall star because I think calling this a ya/teen book is very misleading.

Wonderful Series!

This series was by far the best I have enjoyed in a long time. The story line was exceptional and the narration outstanding.

Wonderful series!

Great series and a fantastic ending to all of the open story lines. I really enjoyed everything about this series!!

Story is wonderful

I love the series. you do have to get past the male narrators nasally performance but to me, still worth the listen.

Best of the 3!

The author wrote a wonderful ending! You know so clearly how everyone will be in the future. Beautiful peace finds Ansel as well. I haven't shed happy tears at the end of a book in so long! If you like nothing else about the series (though not sure how that can be), the ending is one of the best I have ever listened to. Even my most favorite authors haven't written an ending so beautifully! Most time the epilog feels rushed.

The story was good not exactly how I pictured it would end but not every story is going to end the way I think it’s going to and that is a good thing. Will definitely be reading this again. Thank you for the wonderful narration and the wonderful experience of getting to listen to these characters come to life.
