A fine ending to this series, if I don't include the side book with Saffron and Julian. I am curious about that one, because it'll at least be a change of pace from the past 4 books, with expanding on side characters and focusing on a different political conflict. The main romance is okay, its very chaste and slow burn. The last half of the story was fun, it's like now that the stakes are at its highest, Elena and Lucas are finally committing to plans, both with each other and with finally ending the war. Their relationship was the primary focus, but I wish there was more scenes with her friends, especially at the beginning of the series. It wasn't really until the end of the series that characters started acting like they were friends, and it was kinda weird.

This book fixed most of the pacing issues I had complaints for in the rest of the series. There were a number of fun twists that had good foreshadowing without being obvious. Good wrap up to the series.

The end of the main story arc.
While i liked the whole series the last one was not up to my expectations.
I doubt the empire would be cheated so easily (and without starting a war) and also the solution for the two southern kingdoms wasn't something i would describe wise (or even stable).
nevertheless the characters were true to themselves and there were some nice interactions.
