What a great ending to Debt Collector Season Two! I don't want to give anything away but just know that Wraith and her cronies do some amazing things to save the tens of thousands who would be killed if Gehenna's plan is not stopped.

Wraith's return to life after her death has changed her outlook on living and what her role in the world should be.

'There is more to life than simply not dying.'

Getting to the end of this episode was a little bittersweet. I loved this season and I loved how it ended, but I was also sad that it was over. The thing that will get me through the sadness is knowing that Susan has 3 more seasons rolling around in her imagination so there will be more debt collector stories in the future. I can hardly wait!

'Because I don't ever want to live in fear of loving again.'

I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Atonement is a great a ending to this season. It wraps up most of the open plot lines, while leaving enough open for the rest of the seasons and even hinting towards some future events. The last episode had high stakes and lots of things happening. I was a bit surprised how some big things happened in the first half of the episode, while the second half was more wrapping up some things. I am sad this means the end of the season, but I am happy about the way it ended.

There were two plot points I was most curious about how they would be wrapped up and those were the whole Gehenna situation and the romance. I have to say I am happy how they both got resolved in this episode.

Concerning the characters, there is still a nice amount of change and development packed into this last episode. Wraith changes and finally find were she wants to be, I liked seeing her grow into her position more and accepting who and what she was. It was great to see her grow so much as a person in this season and I liked where she was at the end. Wraith was a great main character and thoroughly enjoyed her story. I hope we will see more of both her and Lirium in future seasons!

I also liked the tiny bit of romance we got, although I would've been okay with more. There were some surprising character twists and I was a bit sad how this episode ended for one of the characters, but it did make sense, I just had hoped it didn't have to be that way.

Even in terms of world building this episode manages to add things, mainly in terms of organisations and their position/direction. There were some changes I didn't see coming, but they made sense concerning what happened. I liked the new direction Sterling took as a company and it was fun to see how they were getting those new companies in house.

To conclude: This episode is a great ending to this season, while on the one hand it makes me sad it's over, it also made me happy because it was a good ending. Things are wrapped up nicely, while this episode still manages to add things in terms of character development and world building. I loved this season as much as season 1 and I can't wait for the next season!

I have to say I really do like how this turned out. A bit sad about Zachariel and I could have used a little more of Wyatt, but I know I'll see more in the future! At least I hope so! Review to come!
