My Opinion 4.5 STARS
** Copy provided by Netgalley and Entangled Publishing, LLC for an honest review**
In this book, the last of the series, we find Dylan getting stronger and with his magic and as a character whereas Kera seems to struggle so much more with the darkness rising in her. Everything she does though, she has an excuse for, until she doesn't know who she is an knows she needs help.
Baun turns out to be the man Dylan had thought him to be and worse, completely power hungry.
More humans die, and others show their strength in the midst of everything and show loyalty to Dylan as a friend and leader.
There are a few twists that you don't see coming and Dylan is shown again by his grandpa and grandma that he very much matters and that they love him no matter what. They certainly let him know that they don't care what he is, he is still their grandson.
The ending is satisfying to an extent but the show-down happens all too quickly, even the last chapter, although good feels like something is missing, hence the not quite full star rating.
One the who though, this was a brilliant series to read.
