This book was freaking unfair and I CANT BELIEVE it made me cry. I haven't cried over a fictional story in over a decade.

----------------------------

El libro empezó... mal. Bah, más o menos. Empezó con varios tonos de instalove que me molestaron y me hicieron notar que el "romance" de los libros anteriores fue todo un desperdicio que no aportó NADA a la trama.
Pero a medida que la historia avanzaba, fui aceptando lo que la autora me brindaba y..
EL MALDITO FINAl fue lo más injusto que he leído en mi vida. Todavía tengo los ojos húmedos. No me gustó, lo odié. No solo me resultó innecesario, sino que luego le tiraron sal a la herida en los últimos párrafos.

4 stars for the series as a whole.

This book was horrifically paced, so inevitably had a rushed and disappointing ending.

I am not sure if I even want to talk much about this book, it was very mediocre. The first 200/250 pages nothing happened which is maybe the reason why it took me a week to get through. The latter half was more action packed, slightly better and also I spend the whole day reading yesterday, so reading the second part only took me two days. I was very much bored reading the parts from Cery's or Dannyl's point of view, Sonea's was interesting but literally nothing happened. I can't get over the romance plot between Akkarin and Sonea, it feels very icky. He's literally known her since she was like 15 and he's 13 years older than her. No, thank you. And how do you make me believe it's true love and better than everyone before, when they've been together for like a week or two? Also, how do they find the time to do "it" and feel like it's the right time to do so, when they are literally on the run and chased by the villains. I don't get it how she managed to get pregnant, it feels so weird. Otherwise, it was readable and at times enjoyable so not so bad.
