booksbydann's review against another edition

4.0

Muy buen cierre de saga: Acción en la primera página, luchas mega épicas, momentos hilarantes e increíbles que no vi venir. Este último libro tuvo todo, aunque lo que no me hizo ni gracia fue que el desenlace del conflicto se desarrolló (con exageración) en 5 páginas y el final fue muy happily ever after, con escasas situaciones de aflicción debido a las consecuencias del conflicto. En realidad amo los finales felices, pero los últimos 3 capítulos fueron una especie de epílogo demasiado meloso que bien podrían haberse reducido a un capítulo un poco largo teniendo en cuenta que luego también tenemos el epilogo. En síntesis, fue un buen cierre de saga aunque el conflicto en vez de tener un papel protagonico en el libro (como debería ser), pasa a tener un segundo lugar y el desenlace del triángulo amoroso y la consecuente relación de Layla con su "verdadero amor" pasan a ocupar el lugar central del libro casi por encima de todo lo demás.

A wonderful end to a beautiful trilogy. Don't let the covers fool you. This series is full of action, as well as a love triangle that forces you to become attached to everyone involved. I am sad it is over :(. I think I will mourn the loss of the characters for awhile lol.

I want to start off by saying that I'm so happy that I decided to reread this series. I feel like it's what I needed: something comforting and familiar to read and I feel like it renewed my love for Jennifer L. Armentrout as an author. I do have to say that while this series may not be my favorite from Jennifer L. Armentrout, it's probably one of my most read series. I just thinks it's a really fun read and while I know it's not perfect and it reads a bit dated now, I still had a lot of fun reading the series. This book concludes The Dark Elements series and I'll admit I'm always surprised when I got back to read this last book and see that it's so much shorter than the previous books. I don't know if it's just me, but it always throws me off when the last book in the series is the shortest because I always think about if the author is going to be able to come to a completely satisfying conclusion. I have to admit that as far as how Layla defeats the Lilin in this book, I'm not sure if it's completely satisfying. Layla and the Lilin are connects so if the Lilin dies, Layla dies and they never truly find a work around that so I kind of feel like the author wasn't sure how to fix it and the ending feels a bit of a cop out. Layla does die in order to defeat the Lilin but somehow she wakes up alive because the big boss downstairs made a deal with Lilith, Layla's, mother for Layla's life so Layla gets to live. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that Layla lived, I'm just not sure I'm happy with the way the author went about it. As far as other aspects of the book, I'm so happy that Layla and Roth get their happy ending but I wish things ended on better terms between Layla and Zayne, but I suppose it's understandable that Zaybe would want his space, all things considered. All in all, I'm very happy I decided to reread this series and now I'll be on my way to read the spin off.
