A review by hannahsophialin
The Immortal Throne by Bree Despain
4.0
Wow... It's been so long, I didn't even think I would remember this series.
Yet here we are, finally, FINALLY, getting to see the fates of Daphne, Haden and all the others, even after the doors to EgmontUSA closed years ago.
Let me make it clear early on: I wasn't a fan of the first, and the second was better but not OMG I LOVE THIS SERIES.
But I did want to find out what happened because there was a cliffhanger and even if it's been years, I need that satisfaction. #inthecornercurious
Most people would reread the entire series (or at least skim it), but Despain gave the run down in book two and I was expecting her to do so with book three.
She does exactly that early on, and this makes forgetful me very happy. (Plus there are SO. MANY. BOOKS?! How do I keep track of the deets?)
So not only do we get a refresher, but we also get things going on right at the moment, right after everything that happened in the second book. I highly recommend at least skimming the first two novels to get a sense if it’s been awhile (don’t be like me, learn from my mistakes).
Honestly I’m just happy Daphne and Haden got an end to their story (BECAUSE WHAT IF IT DIDN’T HAPPEN AND NO ONE PICKED UP THE LAST BOOK) and there’s room for more if Despain so chooses to extend it (I think it’s fine though).
(Secretly I wanted tragedy but I’m evil™.)

Let's chat about The Immortal Throne, shall we?

We're jumping right in after the events in The Eternity Key.

The ending is very satisfying.

The Immortal Throne is probably my favorite of the three - there are more risks at stake as we try to find out if the story will end horribly or if it’ll be a happily ever after.
