“Don’t allow this to leave a mark.” 🥺
While the book started off on solid footing, I spent about 65% questioning the life choices that led me to this point. The first 2 books in this series are probably the best in the FBAA world — period. For whatever reason, the last two books combined are over 1300 pages. They probably should have been reduced to around 500. There’s an ungodly amount of characters that don’t matter and details that feel like they were just randomly added. This is a final book in a series and should be an epic ending of sorts to Ash and Sera’s story. Instead, it’s clearly being used to tie together plot lines for the FBAA series that’s already spiraled off the deep end. I had such high hopes for this series and instead I’m just annoyed.
“It was the most selfish and altruistic thing in all the realms, more powerful than the Ancients, and the only thing that could snap the threads of fate. It was the only hope the realms had now. Love. “ ❤️
