I was gonna write this review yesterday at 1 am when I actually finished this, but honestly was having way too much of a book hangover 😭😭 I can't believe the series is actually over 😭 And what an ending!!! This is honestly the most well-rounded book in the series. I am so impressed with how the author wrapped up everything. There are a lot of themes in this book (ghosts, parallel time dimensions, a murder mystery, epic fantasy), and it could have easily been an absolute mess trying to to do many things at once, but it all blended nicely and made for a wonderful read. All the plot points that first seemed unrelated came together in a very satisfying way. Also I mean can we talk about Thero??? Because man that character development!! If I think of how annoying he was in book 1 hahaha. I also love how strong the female leads are in this book, and I loved the additional child's POV, something we didn't have in the previous books. The way the author turned around the story of slavery in this world was also very nice, as I kind of hated the initial dive into that topic in book 4. Seregil and Alec are the perfect OTP in every way once again of course, not much to say there! So basically I'm a bit of a mess and this review is very incoherent but I love this series and I am very very sad that I will never get more Seregil 💔
