I have no words. This was just so amazing. Plus, there was an ending, that I will not only be able to live with, but won’t be obsessing over for a long time. Bianca is awesome. Lucas is awesome. Vic is awesome. Raquel is awesome. Skye is awesome. Maxie is awesome. Balthazar is awesome. And, most importantly, Ranulf is awesome. No, seriously, Ranulf is my favorite character in the entire series. Why? because he says things like this: “A great cataclysmic force will be required.” Ranulf said. “I will handle the explosives.” Yeah. And there was happiness all around. Even (some people may not agree with me) Mrs. Bethany got a happy ending, with Christopher (there was an aww moment if I ever saw one) And, Lucas. Oh my god, the last line of this book was just so romantic. The only thing I really have to complain about is that aren’t ten more books in this series.
I've never been a true fan of this series, I always found them mildly pleasant, always started each book in the series thinking: "This is it, this will take my breath away." And I must admit I'm always disappointed. I'm not saying is a bad series, because is not, is very entertaining, it was my very first vampire series, even before I read Twilight. I was very excited about this final installment, I waited greatness from it, maybe that's where I was mistaken, because even though it had a surprising ending, I was not enthralled, I just wanted it over. The series takes were it left off, Bianca a wraith and Lucas just to become a vampire. Afterlife is very much about forgiveness and acceptance, so you don't have to fret about unanswered questions as certain series' ending *cough* Vampire Academy! *cough* Anyway, it has smoky vampires, chilling ghosts and all kinds of fun. If you've enjoy the last books you are certainly to enjoy this one and if you've skimmed through them you will so again in this one. I think my main complaint is the continuous difference in of, shall we say, "substance" between Bianca & Lucas. She was a vampire, he was a human, then she became a ghost and he became a vampire! And Lucas as vampire: can we say annoying much? He's always whining, I mean, he doesn't outright say it, but even Bianca knows it. About the things I like about the series and has made me stayed through the last 4 books is Lucas, even if he's a whiner and sometimes a bit tortured, he still loves Bianca. Also, some of the secondary characters like Vic and Ranulf make you have a good laugh. Despite all these things, is still a great series, so if you've read the last three, read this one too. But I'll always wondered what would have happened if... Claudia Gray is awesome and can't wait for her Balthazar series, even if I initially found him annoying, but kind of love him now after this book.
** spoiler alert ** I loved this series. But this book.... I don't think it was a good ending.. I wAs bored of it until the last 70 odd pages. It was a happy ending, but I feel it could f been different, better. I felt no Closure in this book. It just ended with so many unanswered questions, Biana's ok with simply remembering Lucas when he dies? Ok sure... One more thing why can drinking Bianca's blood bring Lucas back to life but not the other way around.. Surly if together they represent life and death then combine equally it should be life for both right.. I guess yeas the ending that would of made me more content. That they are simply not going to be satisfied with what they got until the end of Lucas's life, because really isn't that what they have been fighting for the entire series. To be together forever! Not in memory but in mind, body and spirit?
moriré llorando por esta gente nada que no supiera ya
Ok. I tried. I couldn't do it. It's not that I think this book was bad, I just couldn't get into it. Partially, it's probably because I've outgrown the series, but also I just really don't like Bianca as a ghost. I dunno. I just couldn't get into it and decided not to push myself to read it when all I would do is skim it.
Fabulous.Just like the rest of the series. Action packed with some very romantic scenes. A real page-turner!
