Musings while I’m laying in bed… I don’t get Hunt’s appeal. He’s a boomer cop that got a PYT, whom just so happens to end up being the most powerful being on Midgard. Still had fun reading it.

Took me too long to finish this book for it to be considered good.

Definitely picked up in the second half…but I was left with so many unanswered question!! Why??!!

For the most part, I enjoyed this last installment. A few low points - The constant back and forth of POV, particularly at the beginning, was definitely annoying. It was almost every other paragraph in the beginning. Thank goodness it was more spaced out through the rest of the book. I am also not sure if I liked “the crossover” - jury is still out on that one.
Other than that - Bryce in all her sass and sarcasm has always been one of my favorites, and she continues to be. And I was pleased that there was more focus on Rhun, another favorite of mine. The sprites continued to be adorable. The end battle scene was great, with a few tears. Sad that this series is over!
