And this circle is now closed! After the dramatic turn of events in the previous book, I was wondering how everything would wrap up in the final installment. Needless to say, it was intense! But honestly, what can you expect when certain characters are literally Creation, Destruction, and Chaos?
The story moved at a good place, though there were certain places I wished we'd spent more time in. Samson and Eslar got their time in the spotlight, and I couldn't have been more happy to read about Samson and his growth. I'm gonna miss that little crafter!
Additionally, Jo and Snow each got their moments, which were filled with passion and overall moved pretty quick. That's one thing I found about this story: The beginning moved a little slower, but the ending really picked up and went crazy with a final battle. Not really a complaint, though I did have a couple "whoa" moments during the climax.
All in all, I enjoyed this series and all its world-destroying madness. I read loooooots of urban fantasy so it was nice to pick up a series that had similar roots, but was vastly different and quite creative. I definitely think UF fans looking for something new ought to give this one a try!

First of all, I’d like to thank Elise Kova and Lynn Larsh for creating a fantastical world filled with amazing characters. I’d also like to thank them for kindly providing me with an eARC after I missed out on the application. They really made me happy!
Note: this book is part of a series. So if you haven’t read the three books before, I suggest you catch up before reading this review. Warning: The next part will contain spoilers for the first three books.
The concluding book to the wish quartet series starts off right where Birth Of Chaos left off. After the destruction of the society, the society members are thrust back into the real world. However, there is one catch which is the world timelines have merged into a new age of magic that includes both magic and technological advancements from the previous world.
There were a few things that bothered me throughout the book which is why I gave it a 3.75 star review. First of all, I noticed a lot of parts that need to be edited. I hope these get fixed before the book comes out. I was also bothered by certain characters such as:
- Samson getting on my nerves at the beginning, and then it was Eslar who got on my nerves. - Jo acting rashly at the beginning of the book (but I could see some developments happening near the end). - A new romance being introduced in the final book, which was a bit distracting from the original plot line. However, I kind of suspect it being the main focus for the next series set in this world. - The fact that most of the book was spent planning, and the only real action we saw was at the final few chapters.
However, I did love many aspects about the book which was mainly the friendship aspects (especially between Jo, Wayne and Takako). I did love the epilogue especially! I will be disappointed if what was hinted at in the epilogue about Snow is not included in the next series. Also, the romance between Jo and Snow Just melts your heart. However, I do have to say that there are a few mature scenes so I recommend this book to those who are older than 18 as it’s a new adult series.
Also, if the spinoff series isn’t about my favorite character Wayne then I’ll be deeply disappointed. From my point of view, I think that the final book was really good. I kind of wish it had the same pace of action as the previous three books which usually kept me up all night trying to read them. All in all, I enjoyed reading this series, some characters will always be a favorite of mine.
One final thought: I do have to say that we can all agree that Pan is crazy (that dinner scene was twisted)!

A satisfying finale that is still open ended enough for futures stories set in that universe.

I.. have conflicted feelings about the ending? It wasn't as satisfying as I'd been hoping for but *shrug* an enjoyable series all the same.

*Contented sigh*
This was a fitting ending to this series. When I think back to the other three books, we covered a lot of territory but it was all nice wrapped up in this last book.
In particular, I thought the scene in Pan's castle was brilliant! Talk about a crazed lunatic! LOL. But I digress.
No, the climax and resolution were very satisfying and the Epilogue from Takako's POV was a nice touch to leave open the "possibility/guarantee" of another series.
Nicely done you two :)

I received an e-ARC from the authors in exchange for an honest review.
This was a thrilling ending with a new world rising. How all the team tried to save Snow and that scene with Pan in the castle? The psychotic character was written brilliantly! Takako's POV was a surprise and I know that there will be a new series set in this world so I am very excited!

4 stars!
I think this was a very decent ending to this series. I don't think this was the best book of the series, but I do think everything was wrapped up nicely in this book. It was a bit predictable, and I would have liked to see a bit more struggle, but we can't have it all I guess. This book did suffer a bit from the super fast publication schedule this series was on. I mean, publishing a book every three months is going to take away from the story a bit, and unfortunately that was also the case with this book and I think most of the things I disliked about this book could have been avoided had there been more time for writing, rewriting, editing etc. That may just be my personal opinion, but nonetheless I did still enjoy this book and it was a fine ending to a series!
