Ik moet eerlijk toegeven: Ik moest er even aan wennen om niet door de ogen van Cole en Ali de wereld in te kijken. Een van de belangrijkste redenen waarom ik deze serie zo ongelooflijk leuk vond, was namelijk Ali, haar karakter en hoeveel we ergens ook wel op elkaar leken. Die klik miste ik met Millie, waardoor ik gewoon tijd nodig had om aan beide karakters te wennen.

Maar, toen ik er uiteindelijk aan gewend was kon ik zeker wel van het boek genieten! Net als alle andere boeken in de serie leest het boek ongelooflijk lekker weg. Ik ben met 120 pagina's (of misschien wel meer) per uur door het boek heen gevlogen en heb me uiteindelijk mee laten slepen in het nieuwe plot, de nieuwe krachten en het overduidelijke daadwerkelijke einde van de serie.

Ik moet eerlijk zeggen, het einde van boek drie vond ik persoonlijk een beter einde. Sommige dingen hoeven voor mij niet uitgespeld en opgeschreven te worden, maar ondanks dat heb ik wel van het boek genoten. Millie is, ondanks dat zij en ik niet de klik hebben die ik wel met Ali had, een interessant en gecompliceerd personage en het was heel tof om in Frostbite's hoofd te zitten en het rouwproces, de twijfel en gevoelens van schuld door zijn ogen te beleven.

Ook het mysterie, net als in de voorgaande boeken netjes uitgespreid over het hele verhaal met subtiele hints hier en daar, was goed opgebouwd en viel uiteindelijk als een keurige puzzel in elkaar. Ik zou persoonlijk nog wel wat meer willen zien van de tussenwereld, maar als ik me niet vergis is daar een heel boek aan gewijd (of in elk geval een novella), dus die moet ik maar eens op gaan zoeken!

Ik ga de zombiewereld in elk geval, gek genoeg, wel missen!

I finally finished the series! I was surprised that this book took a different point of view through Frosty and Camilla instead of Cole and Ali. I really hated Camilla in the last book because of what happened to Kat but then I pitied because of why she did what she did. I pitied her even more in this book because of how she was treated by Cole's and River's crew and also because of her possible fate in Ali's vision. I was really happy that the series ended in a happy ending though.

I went back and forth on giving this book 3 or 4 stars. I enjoyed the story a lot. But i had two issues with it. One rather large one and one that irritated me probably more than it should have. the smaller one that the basically changed Mackenzie's name to Love. Yes, I'm aware that that is her last name. But in none of the last three books did they call her Love. Now all of a sudden it was just Love. No explanation no joke it was just like they didn't want to add the extra letters to her name.

The second bigger one. How did Milla get her memories back?? There was just one line that says it's possible. But no explanation. They even explained that Rebecca got her memories back because her minions found her and helped her remember. But no one was talking to Milla so how did she get her memories back. This bothered me the whole book.

Otherwise, I loved this book i enjoyed Milla and Frosty's back stories. I enjoyed watching them fall in love. I loved hearing about the Court. Honestly, I wish we had a whole series about them making decisions up above and how it works out down here. I liked hearing about all the future kids and I would like to see what happens with that. It was almost written in a way where Gena could pull this series back up if she wanted or a spin off of it. I would read it.

Of the four novels in this series, this one was the closest to the Lords of the Underworld in format. I actually really liked the POV from both Milla and Frosty. I know it's a YA novel, but I was hoping for something a little hotter from them. Oh well, it was still good. A nice, non-whiny redemption story.

I love the series overall, but to be honest I was a little disappointed in the final book. And maybe that’s because I grew so used to being in Ali’s point of view that I really missed it. I love the series and this book is good, don’t get me wrong. It ends the series perfectly and I’m so happy about the ending (especially after the ending of the third book), but I missed more Ali action. Frosty and Milla’s point of view though was really neat to experience.

I enjoyed reading this book, though not as much as the previous ones. I have three main issues with this book that bugged me throughout:
1. They all text each other in the exact same way. No deviation whatsoever.
2. Most of the characters seem to be clones of each other personality wise.
3. Why do they keep punching each other in the face? After the fifth time it got a little old.
Other than that, it was an enjoyable read. I'm glad the characters all got good endings.
