Upon starting this book, I was a little worried that I wasn't going to remember what was going on, the various characters, who is good and who is evil but sooner or later, I was right back to where I had left off at the end of The Fallen Stars and was straight back into the magical world with Kellen and Cali and the very much anticipated end to their story. In the third and final instalments of Kellen's journey, he's about to face his biggest challenge yet. His wife, Cali, has been kidnapped and the biggest battle in Faerie history is about to go down and only Kellen and one other person can save the entire world from destruction. Will Kellen ever get his happy ending with Cali?
I loved the introduction to new characters in this book - Rowan, Cali's sister and Singer, Rowan's daughter. Singer quickly became one of my absolute favourite characters because of her wit and sarcastic nature. I instantly warmed to her, even though some people didn't! However, it was great to catch up with all our old favourites again and I very much enjoyed the multiple viewpoints in this book; Kellen's, Gabe's, Singer's and Cali's. What struck me more with this book than the others is how easily identifiable the characters were based on their individual narratives. By this I mean that if Steph hadn't mentioned who each chapter belonged to, I probably would have been able to guess based on how they talk and I think that's a very talented thing to be able to do.
I read this book so quick, as a huge fan of the first two I was so incredibly excited to see how it would all end and come together and personally, I think the ending was perfect. The last line in particular. The entire story is mind-blowing with imagination and I think it all got tied up perfectly. The time and effort that must have gone into this series to make everything flow and make sense - even in a completely imaginary world that doesn't make sense - is incredible. I remember reading the first book and thinking what a talented author Steph was and now, after finished the last instalment I still admire the incredible story she's told here. I'm still waiting to hear that the film rights have been bought.
