Zara is back from Valhalla after successfully rescuing Nick. Bedford needs their best warrior now more than ever, as the evil pixie regime is causing mass destruction and chaos everywhere. Though Nick's job is clear, Zara's role is a lot more uncertain. She's not just fighting for her friends - she's also a pixie queen. And to align her team of pixies with the humans she loves so much will not be as easy as she hopes. Especially since she can't even reconcile her growing feelings for her pixie king . . .

Rescuing Nick should have made all of Zara's problems disappear. Bedford's greatest warrior is back, not to mention Zara's true soul mate. But it seems it isn't enough. Nick isn't enough. Bedford is being ravaged by evil pixies and they need much more than one great warrior; they need an army to stop the impended apocalypse. Zara isn't sure what her role is anymore. She's not just fighting for her friends, she's also a pixie queen. And to align her team of pixies with the humans she loves will be one of her greatest battles yet. Especially since she can't even reconcile her growing, heart-pounding feelings for her pixie king. . . . Unexpected turns, surprising revelations, and one utterly satisfying romantic finale make Endure a thrilling end to this acclaimed series.

A respectable ending for the series.
Nick did not get strangled. Sadly.
Astley did get loved. Yay. 
Zara got closure from both her dads. That was cool.
The world DIDN’T end. That’s always a plus.
Towards the middle-end, which is when they’re engaging in the big battle to dcdie the fate of the world, but the books not over yet, there was a development with Astley. Now, it may be that I’ve read books where similar things have happened, but I DID NOT BELIEVE IT FOR A SECOND.
Zara did, though. Stupid Zara. You think he’d actually do that? After being so awesome?
Yeah. Issie was funny and cute, as always.
Devyn wasn’t as much of a character in this book as in previous ones.

Now, sometimes I tell people they should listen to certain bands while reading a certain book. Not that I listened to any of these bands whie reading this book, but I think they might fit, and I do have reasons:

Rebecca Black or Justin Bieber: Now, I know what I’m about to say will make people think I’m on the Bieber-hate train. The truth is, I DON’T hate Justin Bieber. If I hear on the radio, I’m cool. My brother has control of our iPod music library, so, no Biebs on my iPod, but I don’t hate him. 
I do hate that Rebecca Black song, though.
Anyway, I think these two artists might fit this book because their music does kind of convey that I’m-a-sixth-grader vibe. If you talked to me about these books or read my reviews, you know that in my opinion, these characters act like sixth graders (Except Astley. Astley’s cool).

Leaves Eyes: this is a norwegian-german-some other European country band, but they sing in english. I do not have any of these guy’s songs on my iPod either, but these guys would TOTALLY fit since they sing primarily about Norse Mythology, and this series is all about that Norse mythology, so.

Favorite quote from this book:

“We kiss like old people.” Issie retorts, crossing her arms over her jacket. “Like old people on TV, actually.” 

And with that, I leave you. 

P.S. In other news, completely unrelated to this book, the other day, I bought two books which I now own and, hence, will be able to read at any time of my choosing: The Daughter of Smoke and Bone (and waiting anxiously for Days of Blood and Starlight!) and Nevermore, the final Maximum Ride book.

I started having a freak attack about 3/4's of the way through this, and then I had another one at the end. And then I was like: Oh okay. yeah... this is OK. It's not what I wanted exactly but I'll take it. 

I just... UGH! Pixies frustrate me. /:I
